Holla Forums: TIME's Trolliest Website of 2016

archive.is/vgGKO
> Sure, just like there are tiny, weird bookstores where you can buy neo-Nazi pamphlets, there are also tiny, weird white-supremacist sites on the web. But some of the contributors on those sites now go to places like Holla Forums or 4chan, which have a more diverse crowd of meme creators, gamers, anime lovers and porn enthusiasts.
What did they mean by this?

we already got a LOL thread

That Holla Forums memes are terrible?

...

...

What did they mean by this?

we did it boys, time to shut down Holla Forums forever and go home

Oh wow, this really is just about hating white men. How would any redditor nu-male have the balls to act like a troll?

He got all the info from some asexual walrus on SA or reddit/SRS

You know who is suffering the worst from this article? Cuckchan users. Even normalfags consider them more normal.

Also this is the death for us anyway. Lets just use Holla Forums as much as we can till it dies from being overrun by edge teens. Just don't give up for each other.

Oh great, more idiots will come here. Can they at least be the ones that say shit like, "You are all evil and need to stop now!" Then they never come back when we laugh?

...

fuck, now all trolls will try to come here…

on the other hand,…nah, we are fucked

No. People will actually go here looking forward for child porn, like the article says.

They probably didn't research shit. They saw the 8 and thought it was literally 4chan 2.

HIT ME, I WANT YOU TO HIT ME!!!

C'MON! HIT ME!!

HIT ME!!!

They're trying to turn this place into a pedo haven, remember when the Blue Whale sent all her pedo friends here?

Whatever happened to Holla Forums being delisted from google? That would drive away almost all of the kiddies.

You hear that guys? We are D I V E R S E!!!!

Holla Forumseddit will get some new converts from this.

Shit. Isn't this bad news since this place will be even more cucked up thanks to publicity? And where's the CP?

Wait a moment
They clearly never dared enter here and learn our culture did they?

You can get child porn on google. The idiots that come here are little children looking for edge and don't know what the internet really is.

Just like the Hitler crew! Celebrate diversity, boys!

here's the guy who wrote the piece

I kinda wish you were wrong. They do want to "redpill more normalfags" for real.

...

Journos still have no idea what the word trolling means.

WE DID IT FAM

Transparent as ever, I see.
>>>Holla Forums

Your dubs fail you, leftypol

*steps around you*

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case

Is this a parody or not?

I love how these faggots have no ability to differentiate the internet from the real world.
The wrong side won WW2. We need a reboot of the fucking Holocaust.
No, we do it because you're a faggot and watching you squirm and suffer makes our cocks hard.


That can't be real. There's no way a kike would echo his own name.

That's what it's always about, isn't it? It always comes down to too much freedom and too little accountability on the internet. Fuckers would love it if I had to do a retina scan and DNA test just to use the internet so the thought police could track me down when I call them fags.

...

So is this going to be "Hackers on steroids" all over again?

Time to rev up the loli and tolddercons!

Great for outing himself out like that. I am sure he feels superior thinking he has us figured out when he got us so wrong and even used such a blatant kike finding device.

Every Fucking Time

It happened not long ago that they tried to hijack the echoes thingy and they just ended up identifying themselves.

It's nothing but redditors there anyway. Just be more cross board idiocy from them is all.

...

...

can this media definition die?

trolls elicit outrage for humour
griefers elicit grief for edginess
everyone else are just people who don't like you

The account is twitter verified and he has a website linked
www.thejoelstein.com

...

...

But user, they can already track you down.

So, when the pedofaggots come over because of this article, how should we bully them?

We reached a point when everyone who disagrees with fascism/national socialism is a leftist? Everyone who doesn't worship Hitler is a communist?

Maybe he got proper use of them back?


Holla Forums and some other places using the echo got the ovendodgers acting like parenthesis were anti-semitic, and they decided to try to take the power away by doing the gold-starring themselves.

Like I thought that was a joke but now I don't know anymore thanks to the wikileaks shit and Holla Forums

Everyone who posts images created on meme-making websites is objectively a faggot, 100% of the time
The particular images not even being any kind of joke and just being a really cringeworthy way to push a political bias is just an extra

...

You can't expect any better from normalfags fresh off the boat from reddit.

*hiss*

This is just the beginning. Ready your bunghole for Chanology 2, I bet the new Albuminous will wear hockey masks or some gay shit like that.

And by ruining, they mean allowing people to act in ways that aren't directly profitable, oy vey!

Remember, the point of the article isn't anything to do with us. Anything that happens to or within Holla Forums as a result of this article is secondary. The main point of these pieces is to brand anonymity as bad to the normalfags (especially women) and keep the normalfags generating plenty of saleable consumption. Narcissism is profitable.

Read this, Anons: thelastpsychiatrist.com/2014/05/cyberbll.html
>"Cyberbullying is a huge problem!" Yes, but not because it is hurtful, HA! no one cares about your feelings– but because criticism makes women want to be more private– and the privacy of the women is bad. The women have to be online, they do most of the clicking and receive most of the clicks. Anonymous cyberbullying is a barrier to increasing consumption, it's gotta go.
>She is unwittingly teaching the demo of this article, e.g. women in their 20s with no actual power looking to establish themselves, who are the very people who should embrace anonymity, not to want this: only rapists and too-weak-to-try rapists want to be anonymous. Smart women write clickable articles about their sexuality for nothing, because what good are you if you can't make someone else money?

I'd say anime girls but Mark's banned that so I'd say go with dumping Nana's Everyday Life and then go with your gut based on their reaction.

...

GRORIOUS 2D マンコ ONLY! 3D マンコ NEED NOT APPLY!

Oh, it's one of those threads

To make it easier for your autistic faggots.

No edge no audience

Time to blow up a van through the internet.

You're not disagreeing with anything, you're d/cing over information you know is false.


What criticism? You whine about reddit supposedly being invited even though Holla Forums already had a thread on this and no such thing was said without realizing you are the reddit when you piss and moan about those ebil nazis.

I don't know who the hell wrote this but I can already tell he's filthy liar who deserves to take prime page space in TIME.

How is it ruining the internet? If anything it seems to bring shit back to how it was back then when it was a lot more fun and less bullshit?

Is it just me or have the cucks been embracing all this shit way more as of late?
thecuck.please use archive.is/welcome-to-gawkers-new-mens-site-the-cuck-1785101113


I'm normally one to get buttmad by unspoilered loli hentai but if the masses start flooding in we have no choice.

Gore can work too but westerners get way more grossed out by lolis than they do from violence, even if it was real. Blame Hollywood for that.

It was a joke, then kikes started using it for some reason, apparently to take the meaning away from the racists.

It was fixed eventually.

Basically, the kikes think they're being clever in doing it to themselves in advance, but all it does is make whoever wants to catalog them all's job easier (barring occasional useful idiots that want to muddy things) as well as normal people wonder why so many yids suddenly have a trio of parenthesis around their name and question what's up with that.

...

Those wacky yids really dont have a clue what they did do they?

Are you attempting to connive me?

Kinda stupid that youtube is below reddit. There's genuine, natural trolling going on.

Holla Forums's believed this for fucking ages. Where you been?
Also, fuck yankees.

I kind of wish Voat was more successful because I wanted a semi-decent photography community to share my DSLR images, and you can't really use a Chan board for these things because they aren't designed for content aggregation or persistent sharing of media

I guess I'll keep looking, because like fucking hell am I joining Deviantart or Plebbit

No one likes a sore loser, Jethro.

man I didn't sleep last night and read that as "normalfaggots" not "pedofaggots", good night time for rest

Did you read the rest of the post? It's "ruining" the Internet for kikery because the way things used to be wasn't profitable and controllable. The point of the article is to keep people from wanting anonymity and keeping them behaving in ways that are disadvantageous to them but profitable for corporations.

Thats all it is. Force people to be politically correct or face a life where no one hires you, everyone attacks you for your views, and certain countries will jail you depending on what you say.

MUH SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN
FUCK LINCOLN, SHERMAN WAS A WAR CRIMINAL
MUH SOUTHERN PRIDE, YANKEE SCUM

Toddlercon is more effective than lolicon, I bet you'll get posts of people going

Checked em

IT'S AWWWWWWRIGHT!!!!!!

it's awwwright

with 18yo nudes

Its fucked up though.

Lads I'm a hate criminal. Should I hand myself over to the police or just finish it all?

...

But I thought Chanology 2.0 was
Gamergate
:^)

Just go make a Holla ForumsFatPhotography or Holla ForumsCoonTownVacationPics.
Half the people on the site came from FPH, Niggers, so on and so forth. I'm sure they'd love to discuss photography and the subjects of their ire at the same time.

Exactly. But remember, ladies, only trolls use anonymity. They are toxic and mean and you don't want to be like them, do you? Be sure to Log In With Facebook and use your real name to be part of the conversation! Lean In and do more work for less pay and maybe you'll earn a Seat At The Table (but no extra pay) and your Voice Will Be Heard (but no extra pay) then you can be quietly disposed of while we keep giving you meaningless trinkets to distract you from how much money is being made off you.

Arigatou

Troll is going down the same road as cuck and autist, why can't people just use words correctly and not turn them into buzzwords to call someone you don't like a name?

I think Holla Forums's onto something in that the noses don't think of long-term consequences of what they do. Hell, even with this election cycle, Trump plays the media like a fiddle because either the Shnozzes in charge think they're actually hurting Trump in giving him what amounts to free attention anytime he says something that goes against their libthink, or can't seem to decide whether their message or shekels to be gained/lost in viewing is more important.


Wouldn't surprise me if the cucks have been trying to embrace the shit they're being called to downplay or normalize it. See "cuckservative" becoming a somewhat mainstream term and various politicians saying shit like "if open borders is cuckoldry, then I'm a proud cuck."

2 babies 1 fox

You mean "person I don't like"

ur toxic user, that means i don't leik u ^_^


kissy


the harder stuff.

Didn't that degenerate start another comic?

@10469040
Rude :c

I get the feeling that exodus to 8ch was a mistake. should've just gone elsewhere, or nowhere at all. endchan/wizardchan/uboachan/minichan/420chan are equally as "free" and a "safe haven" for "troles" but you don't see them getting any attention because they aren't known as hotbeds for "he man women hating neo nazis who want to keep dem wimminz and niggers down"

How is twitter not the most trolly? You have a direct line to pretty much any public figure. Sure you'll be blocked/banned afterwards, but you'll get the message through. Then if you wish, make a new account and repeat.

''Troll' has been miused for much longer than autist or cuck has.

I hate far people as much as they do, why the fuck would I or anyone else want to take photos of them?

Hello, is this your first day on the internet?

When you want to push a corrupt meaning, it's best to use an existing piece of slang (coining new words is difficult and unpredictable) and attach a corrupt definition to it that still has some elements from the original meaning but add new parts that push what you want. That way, when people who know what it means use it, it reinforces the corrupt meaning without meaning to. Over time (with sufficient pushing), the corrupt meaning takes over and the original users of the word are forced to continue legitimising the corrupt meaning or abandon it. Either way, you win.

...

who said I was piss and moaning?
it seems like you're saying one one who says anything that isn't kissing Holla Forums's ass to be some kind of heart bleeding redditor.

Can't we just be happy the meme for
TO EXTREME FOR 4CHAN
is relevant again?
This whole thing is hilarious, wanna know how to not get bothered by shit on the internet?
Dont go on the internet.
Actually now that I read it again maybe he is being super meta. Its TOO funny, you know what I mean?

To call them fat cows and maybe convince other fatties to stop eating fast food three times a day.
What else is bullying good for?

Take heart, this reputation is not one to fear.

Rather they fear us, and rightly so.

protip: "Autist" is a term coined online and a lot of people you interact with do have autism, sometimes severe crippling autism. The problem with not knowing a persons identity is they could very well be autistic and you could very well be trying to argue with a legitimate retard. Thats why the term is so persistent on anonymous websites, because a lot of really shitty and retarded posters are autistic

That's what those places would have been had we gone there instead
This place didn't get that rep for no reason, it got it because we came here

Where've you been?

Well, no one's pointing a gun to your head. Bon voyage.

I guess I don't hang around normalfags enough to notice, I'm just used to cuck and autist being misued and not troll.

The problem, though, wasn't this representation made because of this exodus, and thus would make any site that would've been migrated to a subject of these articles? Is there any reason to believe different? I posit no, it would not make a difference in the end.

what's stopping you from going there now?

Isn't it a term of endearment?

Aren't kids taught at an early age never to share their personal information online? Why do they want to do the opposite now?

wew

Its not the normalfags that use troll unironically, its usually e-celebs and kiddies

Wtf I hate that word now!

(((Stein))) wrote a book called "Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity" and he is just lucky enough to meet famous people and get to do tons of shit so he can write his book.

Also the onion wrote something about him in 2000
archive.is/vi4t0

And the wikipedia page just lists some of the wonderfully jewish shit he has done
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Stein


If those places headed the things Holla Forums did, they too would be plastered in the news as a bad site thats evil.

We couldn't have known hotwheels would get cold feet and let a jew that rivals moot take over, all the other potential sites were worse when the exodus was happening.

The proportions of that flag just look awkward. The canton is 2:3 to the height, great, but it's a bizarre 9:20 to the flag's width. The red stripe is a reasonable 1/2 the width of the remaining field, but since the canton is an odd ratio that makes the stripe 11:40 to the total width. It makes the flag look haphazard and cobbled together, not something you want inspiring you to fight.

My flag my be >a fucking leaf, but at least it has reasonable proportions in its stripes, with everything being 1:1 or 1:2.

Troll spotted.

You might be thinking of a different term m8. For one "autist" is usually underlined as a misspelled word in web browsers and Googling it just refers to autism and an urban dictionary link

fuck off vicky

Endchan barely functions and the only advantage it has is that banners are way larger.
Wizardchan is fucking terrible.
Ubuu was a solid imageboard until tumblrtards used it to post their shitty art, and knowing it was a western imageboard dedicated to Yume Nikki WILL bring Tumblr crossposters to it.
Minichan is okay if you prefer textboards, meaning normalfags/crossposters will NEVER go to it.
420chan is even more fucking terrible.

not the same user, but the main problem is that every other imageboard that isn't 4/Holla Forums is a dying crater of emptyness

They were taught, once. Not anymore. It's not profitable.

Because it's profitable.

I'm scared that this will be exactly what the "Hackers on steroids" thing did to 4chan. normalfags and casuals will start coming here, a little at first, then more and more until you can't tell the difference.

Source on 2nd image?


That should be a banner tbh.

for

isn't 420chan owner friends with pedobutts too?

I remember it being taught as late as 2010 where they said to neer give people on the internet your adress, real name and just don't be a fucking retard.
I noticed they started saying that less when youtube combined youtube with google+ and encouraced people to use your real names.
the only people who did it were 11 year olds who even had there face as profile picture.

I believe so.

Kirtaner is an actual SJW goon.

Don't forget that lainchan is fucking garbage as well. Has 7chan gotten less anal retentive about rules?

Probably not anymore. My dad was pretty tech savvy back when I was a kid and stressed the importance of not giving out personal information. Even general websites would make note about just using a handle or username, and that what they did require wouldn't be shared beyond what you cleared it to. Now there's been a striking difference where so many sites want so much information about you just to use them, and it wouldn't shock me if a lot of younger people have never experienced otherwise.

If they do we'll have a UAB festival to scare them out.

SAoVQ is the better textboard imo

...

I've always used it as endearment fam. Same way you'd call someone else a shitlord.


Let's see what my blog readers thinks of this

Because they want to profit off the good goyim who are happy to give them information!

...

You're not very bright, user.

I'm sure we will get a trickle of them coming in.
Either they will fuck off or assimilate, but its important to get the assimilation part right.

You forgot no one reads news magazines anymore?

Oh god it's already happening
They're already here

...

...

...

WE WUZ KANDY AN SHEEIT

meant for

KC-tier VN tbh


76chan is pretty good, /int/ and /sp/ moved their after the Holla Forums and Next incident.

I stole your dank OC in the first thread you posted it in, user

Anyone have that "Holla Forums - a vile place" with the Rainbow and the Denko face? (´・ω・`)

Where they at famalam.

Did you really need wikipedia to tell you that
The dude's last name is literally Stein

...

Its pretty brazen to say

Why would I use an imageboard full of tripfags run by a faggot who begs for money on streams so he can buy Apple products when I can just use /cyber/?

I still miss /sp/

What are you talking about, famicom?

callin out u reddit fux. this our hood.

The critical thing now is that kids are educated not to give personal information to other people. However, giving out personal info to companies and websites has become normalised. Kids learn mainly by example, and when their parents are gormlessly using kikebook, what're they going to learn?

The idea is to promote "cybersafety" as "stay inside our walls". When I was growing up, it was generally accepted by all teenagers that one should give completely fake information in every sign-up form possible.

...

At this point it's probably impossible for someone to start a chan style imageboard that wouldn't have some amount percentage of the userbase being normalfags/reddit/tumblr posters that refuse to integrate right. Back in the older days, halfchan wasn't in the news, and while they might have been known in some circles online, they had a reputation ("Holla Forums is the anus of the internet" sort of stuff) that could discourage a huge influx of newfags. Then you got stuff like "Hackers on Steroids" and Chanology that got it to be a good bit more in the mainstream consciousness.


Got to love how Youtube tries to fix shit that isn't broken and borks stuff in the process. I swear, it's like every update, shit gets worse.

True.
but we don't have a great dream board

BLENDER

I'd say make one, but considering a vast majority of the boards are dead I don't think it would work out.

It's disgusting how shit Youtube's layout has gotten over the years. It's hard to even find the Private Message form.


Even then kids back then are lucky because even if they did use real info there's a good chance some of the websites are either defunct or its really outdated. Compared to nowadays.

I thought it died. What happened?

WAIT, THAT STILL EXISTS!?

Pretty much this, as soon as normalfags catch word of the newest, hippest chan they'll flock to it for bragging rights to all their other "omg I'm so nerdy!" friends about how they were there first.

GOD DAMN IT GOOGLE

The red stripe was an ad hoc addition to prevent the Confederate flag from looking like a flag of truce in certain situations. Personally I more of a fan of some of the lesser known Confederate flags.

To be fair, they are kinda right about Holla Forums on both points - any scum that got kicked out of cuckchan (such as furfags) settles here and strides about like they own the place, and every thread in Holla Forums is full of toddlercon.

...

Yeah, you have to go to someone's channel, click the about tab, and look for something that said "Send Message" It's so fucking garbage.


It's funny how with each update it got worse, and people got up in arms about it.

...

N-no bully!

Don't let the bees in :^)
Since they drove out the pedos it went downhill Same with this place will without avatarfags

Yeah, I spent about half an hour hunting for it a while back, to try and get a guy to change an old video I liked from private to just unlisted. It worked, at least. Now I have a backup of it too.

A good way to keep people from becoming discontented with something that's bad for them but makes you money is to focus them on a different but related idea that implicitly forces acceptance of what you want.

"Trolls are ruining the Internet" has a payload of "using the Internet the way we want you to is good".

You ever see articles that encourage normalfags to "unplug from social media once in a while"? The payload there is "your normal state should be to use lots of social media". It's like a cigarette company advising their addicts to smoke no more than a pack a day and to make sure to take a walk once in a while to get some fresh air too.

Implying isn't just a shitposting technique, anons.

Much as I like the notion of anyone being able to create a board here as a means of combating hotpocket/Board Owner tyranny if needed, the vast majority of boards are dead here, with the most popular ones being legacy boards and topics halfchan wouldn't directly allow for. Meanwhile with halfchan, boards are rarely added (and never on a poster-owned level), but since they have comparatively few, they're always visible to people on the page tops and bottoms and thus people that are interested in the topics covered at least know they exist. Or at least that's how I remember it being; I haven't gone back there since coming over here.

...

Yeah. I'm not into that shit, but the site's a lot slower without them around. And I think having them around was a useful buffer to keep at least some people out, the kind who gradually ruined 4chan.

These edits are fucking killing me.


First time I've seen Mighty Switch Force get an edit. I like it.

Frankly, I've never seen Holla Forums overall been positive about child porn outside a few. Maybe because I'm not a pedo, but the overall views of child porn has been to hunt those who consume it, and those who make down. One of the few things that gets reported here.

...

Wait, shouldn't reddit be more extreeeeme, then? How does that work?

While I'm not a fan of most of them, they're certainly better than some state flags (e.g. Maryland)

What we really need is some soft of image board masterboard tool that's run completely client-side. That way you can see and reply to threads from any uncucked chan/board, with the same filters and board following that you'd expect from any well made board.

I couldn't understand why people got so hyped over this balloon animal futa hentai.

...

Prepare to be bullied

We're fine, really.
They're the ones who got TOO comfortable and began to annoy the others. They still have their own boards, at least, the avatarfags do.

Motherfucker, it's like a laugh extractor.

...

Allowing the legacy boards to stick around was a mistake. I still think a negligable amount of the problem for Next was the amount of boards that exist on the site.

I am starting to think (((Stein))) came here

WEw

...

The funny thing is this is probably exactly what happened.

It doesn't. It doesn't have to make sense because it's noise. If someone who reads this IRL mentions it to a Redditor, the Redditor will defend Reddit by making reference to karma systems, identity systems, etc. In the process, they will unwittingly reinforce the "anonymity is bad" meme and further embed the article's other assertions in the reader's head.

The point is not to make sense. The point is to influence behaviour.

...

...

That video gets just stuck right up in my head every few months, so it's nice to be able to go back to it. It's hilarious.

And the mainstream news/magazine companies wonder why they are dying while the small independent ones are thriving. This is the most propaganda i have ever seen since the time mainstream media said Marijuana has no medical value and has cancer risk. Yes they did say that at some point and it was bullshit.

...

Child porn was never been allowed but pedo talks were allowed whereas that's banned in most sites. Or at least it used to be here.


I never saw avatarfags outside their designated threads. But I wouldn't notice, I don't really care. Still, I don't think the solution was banning avatarfags altogether unless they posted outside their designated threads. Having containment threads was too much of a benefit to begging with.

That's probably it holy shit

I remember back during the Confederate flag censoring episode Holla Forums (I think) came up with some alternate takes on the flag. I have a few.

Any chance anyone has the edit with the snake and the grenade?


The issue is that people are apt to flock to a recognizable name, and even if a more niche board gets popular for a while, people are still prone to go back to the more broad ones due to lack of people to post with, which creates a spiral of people leaving a board because people are leaving the board.

lolno
and even then, that site's way past dead to help itself


don't forget about the useless CP spam that constantly floats to the top of boards

...

I really really like the fourth one.

Can I download it?

I'm sure it'll show up eventually.

It's a shame.

wew

...

...

The "Don't on tread on me" had been replaced with something like "Fuck with me and I swear I'll kill us all."

Oh fuck this makes so much sense

Here is actually great for anything other than Holla Forums or Holla Forums.
/k/'s nice, if slow. /tg/ is wonderful, if slow. I don't really go elsewhere, but I assume everything else is the same way.

This one?

Is 7chan even alive still?

user holy shit

...

I enjoy how homey /christian/ feels

I'd say it checks out.

...

I dont think he is that stupid.

...

Close, but I'd swear it had the original rattlesnake in the image, with a black and yellow grenade photoshopped in nearby.


Depends on the board. I don't mind slow if it has some activity going on, but the boards I used to frequent, or came across too late, are pretty much dead if not outright dead for months before I'd found them.

This is a man who made a left-to-right scale of how "trolly" a website is. I think he is fam.

I cracked up so damn hard at it, but I think the other edit had military attire and a grenade, it was funnier.

Go away Joel you already wrote your article

At least I was close.

...

There were also some less serious attempts.


How the hell am I going to stop you? I don't own it. Have at it.

Even if it's true, what does it matter? What does that information allow us to do?

Paying attention to the person to the exclusion of the message is a distraction that allows the message's payload to slip in unexamined.

...

WE-

...

Bud you just got meme'd

It just means we continue to kick people's shit in if they think they can come and suddenly be welcomed without knowing the culture.

I really really really really really like that image.

...

STOP

Oh my fucking god my gut. I'm fucking crying here. I can't contain it.

He probably asked for a better resolution

seems right user

...

Welp

We need a name for this event. What do we call this?

"Autists overreact over dead print media."

A Trolly Molly.

I think it would be a good idea to work at least part of the name of the article in.

...

Killallneps

All aboard the newfag trolley! Next stop: Holla Forums.

September 8392nd, 1993.

Good answer. Discern the real threat, assess the response to the threat and continue with countermeasures to said threat.

The article was not for us. The article was for Time readers. I do not think we can effect a shift in the anti-anonymity agenda, and any attempt to do so will put kikes like the article author in the position of arbiter. (This is exactly what the games press tried to do to gaming, by attempting to gain cultural cred from Hollywood. It placed Hollywood in the position of arbiter and allowed it to systematically discourage the tendencies that made gaming a credible threat in its collective eyes, then eventually subsume it.)

Therefore, we continue as normal with the usual cultural defences.

Whatever we call it, prepare for a great deal of wedges to split apart each and every community on Holla Forums

...

what exactly does Holla Forums gain by being listed in google?

oh shid

The cuckmaggedon haha

Maybe the TIMEshift? If it results in an influx and shift in users, anyhow.

...

That might have actually been it, thanks.

I really think you are overreacting, no 12 years old reads TIME Magazine

Print media is kinda sorta dead with this generation ya know

I got all night, new challenger

Dumb faggot. Holla Forums knows the Holocaust never happened, we love Hitler for all the great work he did for Germany, including getting kikes out of Germany, and we WANT a Holocaust to happen.

Or give it the 'ole gorespam sparingly so they run away.


Oh yes.


:^)

Well I don't

...

Oh shit redditors are visiting us. Maybe they'll discover we're all redditors after all!

I really don't think there's going to be an influx of newfags. Who the hell still reads magazines these days? Print is a dead medium, just like TV.

TIMEsplitters

Sandman's a callin' user.

Wouldn't it feel nice to lie your head down on a nice, soft pillow and relax?

The Trolly Strolly
The Troll Stroll.
Jewsin for a Bruisin
Jews Cruise
Ruinfinity
Stein Decline

I like this because Molly is a drug.

Just like imageboards. Also, there's a digital release, if that counts.

...

Don't start this user

user, i've seen boards becoming popular when they were trending in social network websites and magazines. They stopped being imageboards.

...

Do not name it. Naming a thing gives it power and encourages fruitless debate that undermines existing defences. Remember "the cancer that is killing Holla Forums"? That meme actually served to hasten the end by simultaneously planting the idea that Holla Forums would be killed and redirecting energy into fruitless meta, preventing it from being used in driving off or subsuming intruders.

Continue with the cultural defences we have established over the course of a decade. Starve crap posts of attention. Preserve anonymous culture. Attack shit opinions mercilessly. Do not be drawn into meta, "this is the end guyz" or any other defeatism that encourages you to focus on talking instead of doing.

I can barely contain my sides. It only makes sense for a first timer. Well at least that means we wont have the dumb socjus warriors on 8ch anymore. Cause they will graduate to Reddit.

where does this meme comes from? Coot also went on reddit for an AMA and they have a /r/4chan for a long while. They have far more in common with plebbit than us

Simple forums can't preserve their audience even without memes. And you are telling not to name the cancer. Cancer must be named to be avoided.

Such as your own?

Don't those only exist in TOR? I know kik has little groups, but is that is or….?


ew.


what the fuck.


I remember that shit. God damn it, I'm saving ALL of these threads.

This user knows the truth.

It is the Imageboard way

Reddit exists for his demographic, ironically the only thing that article will bring here is actual pedos that believed on the juden

I didn't mean to, in fact, it was supposed to go in another thread, but might as well.


If I'm to be absolutely honest, this place could have some new influx. Sure, the problem is the crowd that will come, but I'm sure there will be a way to drove them out and keep the ones that are worth it.
Otherwise, this place will die, it's in the process.

Shit, you're right.

rolling for this

You could have prevented this

Its gonna happen anyway now that Disney is rebooting all their animated flicks

Nice

I'm sorry user, I have a weakness for bunny girls.

...

You forgot something important about that "new influx".

You don't want a free sample?

Nice try shill, now fuck off.

Shit, I meant
What the fuck do you want to DO!?

The only ones who read TIMES anymore is the 40 and above crowd. People that would never really visit 8ch and believe everything they see on mainstream news as fact.

this, fam, tbh.


They're rebooting it with real people. I hate every single one of those movies. They just cast celebs to cash it.

I don't want a sample for free, I want the whole thing for free. I demand 20% off for this injustice.

...

Expect lots of cool new kids doing le epic trollingXD


Keep your fetishes to yourselves, furries.

Exactly, thats why there's not gonna be a newfag influx even though this whole situation is still funny as fuck

At least summer is ending.

Yeah, meant to say they're turning their animated gold into live action shit

I sure can't wait for Ariel & Jasmine to get the 3DPD treatment

We trade one enemy for another

I want bonbon to sit on my face and smell her ass till i pass out.

I think if i should become a furfag. And stop conceal my hidden fetishes.

Post bunny 2hues.

Be careful of what you wish for

I agree 2huchan.

Was going to post that lastpsychiatrist link here.

The mainstream media really blew it as it relates to making the internet seem like a horrific mistake that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Your typical user nowadays will almost never manually type in a URL or explore it on his own outside the walled gardens.

That's why they have to do these exposés to the public about the supposed dangers. Which everybody can see is just typical fear mongering with no substance behind it.

20 years ago it was all about protecting the children. Today you'll have trouble finding one who doesn't own a smartphone or tablet that can access pornography in seconds. They're told to use their real names and are encouraged to post images or videos of themselves to the public, in some cases their schools even require it. The worst case scenario imaginable became real and nobody cared.

Today it's 'hate'. Even the Pope came out and called for more civility on the internet a few months ago.

And there's the payload. Distract, confuse, insert payload, reinforce.

Observe the creation of a forced meme, Anons.

Remember, memes - especially forced ones - are killed by starvation. Any energy, positive or negative, is a gift of fuel.

Worst case scenario they cast a muslims because diversity and representation.


That's actually kind of hot.

It's happening, this is 'Hackers on Steroids 2.0', but with a twist.

PREPARE THE ANTI-normalfag ORBITAL CANONS
I can't wait though, that means we can actually make fun of REAL autists, like, furfag roleplayers, underfaggots and safespace xir-gender faggots.
Generally leftie bigots.

It's gonna be great, It's gonna be great, It's gonna be great!


Oh boy. Hot Garbage.

Actually wait

We've already had several kosher sites name us over the past several months.

Do you mean kosher or (((kosher)))?

Who were you intent on responding to, laddie?

Isn't Google opening up their own chan?

...

What

Sometimes i just wonder who the fuck watches these movies or buys into these Disney cash grabs anymore. Does Disney pay for it themselves the first two weeks and then the retarded fans watch it like the Call Of Duty crowd?

We could use some new blood in careful amounts. It's gotten to the point where I recognize a large percentage of posters by their writing habits, Unix timestamps, and filenames. I tire greatly of having the same endless conversations and arguments with the same people.

AND FOR QWERKY BROWNIE POINTS, THEY SHOEHORN THAT BASEBALL GAME BECAUSE HEY, LE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT, AMIRITE?!

Mark already allowed porn once to drive out the fallout shills, so why not? Like a week where we all can be as autistic as we can.


At this point Holla Forums is what Holla Forums is supposed to be.


My family :^(

IT ALL MAKES SENSE

Imagine an imageboard full of chrome users. That's sound scary as fuck.

It would be funny if that were to happen. It would make me laugh if this was CNN reporting it and doing some investigation then declared 8ch the most trollish site. At least that demographic would come over here.

(((kosher)))

They already did. It's called "4chan".

I dunno, dumping porn could be considered avatarfagging :^)

It'd be some shit like /soc/ 2.0 with anonymization.

HAIL Hydra

Yes, that's called 4chan.

"Prove you're not a robot" is when I dropped the site entirely.
The day that happened, is when I became a permanent citizen here.

Oh, yeah. Mark is a faggot anyway. And fuck rule 8.

You managed to uncuck yourself. Congrats.

I want to remove all her powers, watch her fall the the floor, and fuck her as hard as I can

He's right, we can't name it or we'll meme it.

Next thing i will hear about on internet is that linux is racist and all linux users must return to windows. Or to ubuntu shit, since it has a contract with Microsoft and sends your data too.

Something like websites banning you from visiting them on Linux Mint, Debian or other Linux OS. They will have articles like "only pedophiles and trolls sit on linux", "if you believe in equality you should not use linux".

It was the last straw, I hated the website already, what the fuck did you think I was gonna do.

I don't miss it at all actually, I do feel sorrowful of how it used to be a lot like this one, but more united, those times are long gone now.

Nothing but annoying attention whores, weak shitposters, shitlibs, social media clubs and general mod cuckoldry there.
RIP in pieces, you fucking waste of data.

Jewt already sold us out years ago for a Jewgle job.

This is some Neverending Story shit right here.

Ubuntu is botnet though. I remember there's a video shot in early 2000s about an article to keep the chillunz away from using Linux because they might be a super elite haxx0r.

Oh come on, you had to bring THAT up

There really is much to be gained from not having a name.

Linux (and OSS in general) are already loci of money and power as opposed to attention. The move there has not been to discredit, but to infiltrate and subvert. See the new trend towards "inclusive codes of conduct" that actually serve to promote the elevation to arbiter status of anyone that commands attention and ticks the right demographic boxes.

This is part of hijacking work activity, while anti-anonymity crusades are concerned with hijacking leisure activity.

God damn it, I was about to install it.

What should I use?

Captcha is when I knew the site was going to die. I reluctantly used it after that because my friends were still there but I ended up quitting. Holla Forums got me back into imageboards. Now even Holla Forums has captcha, but at least it's not from Google and for every post.

...

Mint, Manjaro, Zorin (Maybe), gentoo. :^)

Mint 17.

Do not use 18

It'll end up as FOSS incompatibility issues with required JS for the media formats they use and not outright exclusion. Packaged as Software as Service too.

Is something wrong with 18?

Debian or Mint.
Maybe OpenSUSE?

It uses systemD.

Reaching 18 always ruins everything.

Magic is a pretty good informal model for describing the power of memes. I'm not even talking plane-crashing levels of meme magic here.

The system of society does not care what you think. It cares how you act. You are what you do. You do what you focus on.

When influencing people, the actual substance of an idea is less important than what other idea or object it directs focus to or takes focus away from.

Names are powerful because they make a thing much more real. Notice that the point of Newspeak was to remove terms (idea-names) for things the Party did not want around. Starved of a name, it is very difficult for an idea to manifest and change behaviour.

And you need SystemD for Wayland. :^)

As long as you don't believe in it, magic is just an illusion. Same with memes. They will all die later.

Nobody reads Time magazine anymore, this is a lot less serious than it seems.

Not a big surprise seeing Weev in there, he's an agent playing a role trying to get peaceful white nationalists confused with violent extremists by the public. Just take a look at his social media presence; he makes Hal Turner seem mundane.

Also Holla Forums exposed his Discordianism ties awhile back. He believes in nothing but causing chaos for his own personal enjoyment. Same with MDE but at least that guy has a sense of humor. When he was released from prison the chant 'hail Eris' was noted by Wired at his release party.

The only problem is that Unity sends information about your searches to Amazon by default. Another flavor instead, like XUbuntu.

...

You know this can be turned off right?

Actually, for quantum mechanics our thoughts interfere with the outcome of things. But that's why I don't like quantum mechanics.


Good.

That's why it works best as an informal model to galvanise understanding rather than a thing that exists (though /fringe/ would disagree). Whether you like it or not, you are the product of both genetic and memetic evolution; both genes and memes are vying for survival through you.

Whether you conceptualise that as magic or as something else, it's useful to understand the mechanisms by which this happens.

Dont you faggots have to fight the west and midwest now? instead of just only the North

I think that it's best not to get too self-centred about the implications of quantum interactions, or you end up infected by a false empowerment meme with no payoff.

The real question is: If this is true, what will you do?

Implement the Ork color system, of course.

Of course. The point is that it's on by default and doesn't warn the user. That's what makes it malicious.

.Literally posting anything is "avatarfagging".
Post two, completely unrelated images, and you are an "avatarfag".
Mods don't give a shit, it's literally just an excuse to ban people they don't like.

Is our version of the WAAAAGH the REEEEEEEEEEEE?

What the FUCK happened to usernames? I just wanna make friends without giving out any real information.

Shitter got b&, wew

you bet

I never seen a 40kxpepe OC

That's really good

REEEE is 4chan, mate. I don't think Holla Forums have something like that, maybe cuck or shill.

Nobody is going to shed any tears for the poor 4am avatarfags

Are you okay, user? That implies usernames aren't around still, which isn't true. Usernames and other pseudonyms are still widespread unless you stick exclusively to kikebook.

But they're still forms of identity and identity encourages ego inflation.

Why would you imply they don't exist anymore, though?

There's something I don't quite understand, if IDs exist, what's the point of avatarfagging or even banning them? I'm guessing that because they went out of their containment threads, but, as I said before, just ban them outside of the damn thread, not inside. That's retarded.


I will. 4am was pretty comfy..

Goddamn I forgot it had that
Holy shit that was awful

It was cringy that what it was

It was a pokemon thread, actually.

Attention. IDs aren't flashy and immediate like images are. You have to click or make an effort to notice the same ID appearing above posts. They're forms of identity, but not one that signals anything. Avatarfags want to signal, they want to make anons recognise them. user culture has very strong feelings about people who do that, so they focus hate on the avatarfag, which feeds them.

Banning them is one way of breaking that loop.

Even if you can turn it off i recommend a better DE, Unity requires slightly more memory than KDE but has less configuration.

It's awwwriiiight!

I understand that usernames enable ego inflation (that's why I don't tripfag/avatarfag), but I still long for unanonymous interaction sometimes so I can actually develop relationships. However, the only place that seems to offer that kind of thing is Reddit.

Why? They were anons having genuine conversations there. Also, it's not like 4am is over, just avatarfagging. Supposedly


But this place is already too small to even matter. I understand why user culture would hate it, but it happened in a single thread
Also, this I miss /nice/

/kind/, I meant.

Your circlejerk is not special and unbound by the rules and culture. The slap down you received was long overdue.

time has basically been trying to become buzzfeed for dentist's offices for a couple of years now

isn't that borderline defamation? maybe jim can sue them & get more shekels to keep us afloat

was future perfect good?

some of them were alright. the spergiest ones were pretty bad though & some of the rping was sort of weird

Then flip the board around: What benefit is there to avatarfagging for posters other than the avatarfags? Does the voluntary identity that avatarfags gain have a benefit to the discussion?

Think of names and tripcodes: These have legitimate (but rare) uses. We punish use of these mechanisms outside those uses.

What uses does avatarfagging have?


There's plenty of other places to find people with identities if that's what you crave. But online friendship is an illusion. If you're looking to form satisfying relationships, it's probably best to try and do that offline.

Everybody around me is a spic, user. I don't have a choice other than online.

Thanks user, this is now my new way of explaining Time. Here is a foxbutt in thanks.

Don't know what to tell you, user. You know the risks of different types of online community. Go and try exploring and diving into some (hobbies are usually a good focal point) instead of complaining about it here. Maybe you'll get what you want.

I know, I acknowledge that letting them have their own thread was a privilege. They fucked up if they decided to avatarfag outside the thread.


Never had any of that the times I really needed the 4am thread.

I remember when Holla Forums allowed that. Now is basically edgier 4chan with less users.


Yes, it helps to keep in touch of what's happening, placing the events faster and stuff. On the downside, 4am sometimes became a blog. I think that's ok as long as you don't abuse it beyond common sense, namely keeping it fucking there.
Tripfags are more understandable to be punished, but now that we are on topic, how can you define an avatarfag or not? If I use to happen a pic similar to the one of an avatarfag I may be affected as well, and that's bullshit. Rule 8 is pretty shitty in that sense.

So what? As long as it's better than IRL friendship,and it usually is. I don't expect an user to die for me, just have some laughs with user and an occasional help.

If I happen to use a pic, damn it.

If you really miss the dynamic of a single-thread discussion where avatarfagging is encouraged, go to >>Holla Forums to participate in it taken to its logical extreme.

Mods can see IP hashes, Anons can see IDs. If one user is consistently attaching a portrait-style crop of a character with every post they make, there's your avatarfag.

I'm guessing here, but if you post a character that an avatarfag uses, you're less likely to be affected because a mod is likely to check post history while issuing a ban. Your post history will show up as a ton of unrelated posts/images with one uncropped character image while the avatarfag will have nothing but.

Never participated much, but will take it in mind, thank you..

I seriously doubt this. I don't trust mods. Maybe it was because the 4am 2 days ago was a chaos, but there was a lot of unjustified banning for people that wasn't even avatarfagging. Me included.
Ironically enough, when I started to avatarfag to annoy them, I wasn't banned.

Did you actually bother screencapping it? The whole thread.

You asked how to reliably define an avatarfag or distinguish them from an ordinary user who happens to post the same character as an avatarfag is using. Whether mods do all the diligence always or even at all is not a matter of rules, but enforcement.

I haven't seen a convincing argument for avatarfagging that outweighs the default guard against identity (if it was just about convenience, why not use names?), so I'm sorry user but I'm just going to call you a circlejerking faggot (or maybe a faggot who just likes lapping at the cum expelled by the circlejerk? The metaphor's imperfect) and tell you to fuck off with that shit.

I saw that thread on the 20th, and most of the anons that were banned broke rule 8.
Yeah, you're right though, there was cases where people were breaking rule 8, and the rule wasn't being enforced (as one inflamed faggot said he only got banned for 15 minutes, and continued avatar fagging w/something else).
Just about all the anons who regularly post in that thread should just go to reddit though, as they want an identity, and are the only faggots complaining about rule 8.

That's adorable

The program I use to take screen caps periodically replace the old ones with the new ones so I don't have the screen I took of my bans. But here's the thread archive, if you're interested. Although some post will be gone for obvious reasons. archive.is/pcjIZ Yesterday's still up.


Well user, let me tell you that you're exactly the reason why this place is going downhill. You're enforcing a rule that might affect anons that have nothing to do with avatarfagging, and at the same time you're furthering from what made people come here in the first place, freedom.
I'm just saying avatarfags should be let in their containment threads and punished otherwise, and that Rule 8 is faulty, mostly because mods aren't trust worthy.

So why are you still using it?

It helps me to keep my PC clean. There's really not a lot of point on saving all the screencaps I take Specially since I'm poor and have limited storage. I can pick the ones I really need and save them somewhere else,.

Why not just consider saving less or actually going through the entire drive and deleting shit you know you have no use for?

...

What I'm actually doing is prioritising a cornerstone of user culture (punishment of identity) over the enjoyment of some faggots to self-identify during their circlejerk. I do so because I judge this particular way of doing so to be contained, enforceable with discretion and in the interests of myself as an user who judges malignant self-identification as a greater threat than mods mistargeting and then not reading a ban appeal.

The enforcement might be loose and sometimes slippery - like your anus - but I have judged it in support of the same freedom you claim it undermines. Let us see who is eventually correct.

I'm a hoarder. I can't even let go game I finished and will probably never finish, but sometimes I have to. Hence why the program is even more convenient.


Alright, Mark. I doubt this place will die like Holla Forums did because of the lack of avatarfags, since Holla Forums ran mostly on pedos, unlike here with the avatarfags, but you already killed one of the few things that made this place enjoyable.
And you're still a faggot.

Also, since Holla Forums shares most of the Holla Forums anons, they probably love their sicks in their ass so that's probably why no one really cares about rule 8.

Not everything is worth keeping. If you really want to keep your buttbuddy circlejerk, the IRC and cytube will gladly accept you. Hell, they may even include you in the skype calls.

I know it's hard to believe at this point, but I never was part of the circlejerk, and when I went there I never did avatarfagging myself. I just thought that when I was depressed it was nice to hit 4am with the same old faggots.

It's been already said, but we'll see.

...

More than just the handful of avatarfags used the rooms. Trust me. I'm the one who even brought up the fact that the avatarfags were shitting up the threads in the first place.

Can't forget >>>/4am/. But none of them want to use it because that means they have to leave their hugbox.

So keep doing it. Avatars aren't necessary for the same anons to show up in the same threads and talk to each other. Spend enough time with them and you'll come to recognise their writing styles anyway if you don't already.

If anons quit because they couldn't avatarfag anymore, that doesn't seem like a loss to me.

They're cancerous as they are.

Completely forgot. All of these were set up last year when there were bans thrown around before Mark undid them in the 20 minutes of screaming that took place after.

Since we're on the subject of malignant sub-communities forming in general threads when self-identification takes root, does anyone who frequented halfchan /d/ remember the BDSM General threads?

Yeah, didn't go to them a whole lot though, not my kind of thing. I may have stopped by once or twice. Think I remember them getting /soc/-tier shit in a way.

Why?

2extreme4chan

Medieval II is the best TW. Best expansions, best mods, best factions, best music and best agent animations.

To be honest I think the White Supremacists are a bigger problem than the Pedophiles

Also, why isn't Encyclopedia Dramatica mentioned. Its a mecca for trolls.

Its only a problem if youre a nigger or other shade of shitskin
toughen up francis

I'm not even white. What the fuck.

Pedo talk is still technically allowed here but even the boards that were just talking and not posting sexualized pics ended up going to librechan shortly after Jim nuked /hebe/.

Anything they don't like are whitey terrrerist so they can justify laycissu against whitey fuccbois

...

Holla Forums got captcha because people were spamming the site with botnets, really wasn't a better alternative.

Browsing Holla Forums as jew is a great. You can pretend like you are proud arian and shit on retarded commies

Wew laddie.

And you can just "turn off" the spyware built into Windows 10, even if it were true that you could completely disable it you shouldn't support it on principle.

Same. They made a fetlife group but didn't interact with any of them much.I think Holla Forums has some anons there as well, but I'm not sure. If only the rest of our boards were as active as this and Holla Forums, even a quarter of the speed would be just fine.

Future perfect was fucking great. Maybe not quite as mechanically solid as 2, but a shitload more content, still great multiplayer, and a really enjoyable campaign.

Yes, they were fucking terrible for the reasons described. Also, for anyone who isn't aware, keep in mind that BDSM and all related fetishes are vector that SocJus likes to use to inject itself. The number of times I've had to deal with their shit in my fetish is outrageous.
