I'm really old and I'm still here

Do you think you'll still be posting on imageboards at forty years old? I didn't, but here I am.

How old are the posters here? Specifically looking for those 35 and up. What went wrong? Or are you just having fun and there's nothing wrong at all.

That's it for me

How old are you? I'm mostly just having fun but my life is a bit empty, so I spend too much time here.

19yo here
The fuck are you bitching about? You being here is no different then some bitch on facebook, or someone playing mmorpg. Humans don't like to be bored, you find Holla Forums entertaining some reason, ergo you remain.

I am now in the position to be able to unironically say "OK kid." But I think you are mostly correct.

Yeah, well thanks for not giving me a canned response.

Ill probably will

First of all im kinda addicted to imageboards
Second thing is that imageboards are the only place where i feel at home on the interent

how much chucks wood would?

How long have you been using this crap?

I'm 32, and I think it's unfortunate that more adults don't engage in anonymous discussion/debate. Personally, I find that you learn a lot more when it's anonymous and "anything goes". Imageboards are also much funnier and less banal than other social media.

For the most part, people are more concerned with the validation that goes along with Facebook or Reddit; unlike most anons, I don't bash those things, as I can somewhat understand the appeal of facebook, and Reddit is good for certain acedemic discussion. At the end of the day, if you don't have friends (for whatever reason), anonymous dialogue can be a nice way to achieve a semblance of actual human interaction… for better or worse.

Chuck's wood would chub at a wood love rub if the rub could be half good.

Ten years.

Agreed about social media being about makes a good impression and discouraging actual discussion.

I'm so old I should be made Dean or Provost.
For many years the chans have been my hideout while I built a normie life.
Early 4chan (the motherchan) was like being a secret agent and talking to HQ.
Nowadays it's not so important because I need no longer pretend to be normal, except to be polite, so I don't need an imageboard to express myself sincerely. But I still come almost daily, so that my office thinks I'm working as hard as they are and to find someone to troll when I'm drunk.
Chan history is nearing it's end. These places have no future on an internet dedicated to commerce and propaganda. They are rapidly becoming vehicles for lunatic politics and a magnet for truly sick kids.
Enjoy what's left, anons, because it won't get any better.

I dont want it to end

Imageboards are the only place when i can trully express myself and be myself

Damn. Ive kind of thought the same thing for a while. I probably havent been around chans as long as you but I think i caught the tail end of when they were good. Started getting into it about 2008-2009.

Kinda quit coming as much because Holla Forums lacks the life half/b/ had and half/b/ is 99.9% trap shit and baiting shitposts. Chan culture is almost dead sadly. I think this is the slowly dying last bastion.

chan culture is a well-worn debate in itself.

For me, too many users/losers use these sites as life support. uses who contribute little and demand a lot, precious little snowflakes that they are, to keep them fapping until social services or the cops dig them out of their lair. It used to be a full-on madhouse where you could, well, behave badly for fun. Now it's more an asylum where once in a while an unknown voice screams louder than the others.

ebin oldfag here, I'm Moots dad AMA

Less than five years to 30, I'm here to remind people what Holla Forums used to be by occasionally posting in the exact same way I used to when I first started. Autistic, I know.


Very much agreed. Everyone having an identity gets in the way of discussion and encourages circlejerking, it sucks.


Always been that, although I do fear that you could be right on other points.


What did you do to him that made him wish he were the little girl?

Yeah i usually do the same thing and post like i used to. Its lol doing it on halfchan because so many people will call you reddit trash or a newfag. Then i get a laugh because there are so many newfags the old ways are seen as new. Then i cry a little.

I think 8chans threads are better because more here still post like they did back in the day. Always feels like home.

This fucking meme. The other day I saw someone post here that they were a 2013 oldfag and found myself in a mixture of mirth and complete distress. Whenever I call out someone's blatant newfaggotry I always get told to fuck off back to reddit, likely by a closeted former redditor. Top kek is a reddit meme and it's all over the place, so checkmate revisionists. I also see people sperging out over calling imageboards the chans, because das noofeg! smhtbhfam

I had exodus'd from 4chan in 2006 to an imageboard that chose to stay niche as fuck and enforce a few rules that would be seen as outlandish today to stem the tide of cancer (Struggle writing coherently? Enjoy your week ban!) and the quality and memes stayed higher than anything 4chan pushed out in years, and some are still knocking around today. Obviously 4chan got credit for all of it, and that's how we liked it. Stay off our site you shitposters! The trip system was also ripped out and we had the 8ch quote system where you can view other replies to a post and hover over quotes, even going across boards, in 2008, so bad luck that they spent so much money on it when the owner probably would have given them a copy for free haha. Shame that attempting to start up such a thing now would probably completely divebomb the moment someone linked it somewhere as the new secret club.

I think imageboards are toast in the long run at this point, it's just become another arm in the war of identity politics. I'd like to kid myself that something will come up but people are shitters and unfortunately I fear the cancer is now terminal.

The idea that having fun without thinking too much into it is bad became prevalent and now we have people crying all over the place how everything's so shit while rolling in salt. The whole transformation is basically comedy at this point, but my laughter is joyless.

The funniest part is that it's just a rehash of trolls trolling trolls, except now everyone is claiming to be the troll when actually they're just trolling themselves into anger until they finally snap and declare the other person absolutely furious.

This is the part that cracks me up, since I’ve been involved in countless shitposts and have over 300 confirmed memes, I can definitely tell when I'm trolling someone and when I'm not, rather than projecting my wishful thinking in a rote learned response formula.

There's no need to be upset this is merely a civil discussion on an image-board my good friend.

Also the death knell of trolling was when rape threats sneaked in under the umbrella. You would get a slap for that off law enforcement even in 2006. I'd say that and the faggots on social media who used clearly fake names and celebrity pictures and made no attempt at seeming like a legitimate person.

how furious of you

Ha, clearly I have torn apart the walls of your existence and left you a crippled, babbling mess! This has been the moment I became an internet legend!

I'm so alone and nobody will love me.

actually 48.
Have GF, good job, GF doesn't even need to work. Going to marry her. Smoke weed erry day.
Not a normie because of secret reasons.
8ch is still fun. Rarely look at overchan for alternatives. On here daily. It's shit but I still have fun here on occasion.

Holy shit, I thought I was nearly the limit! Sounds like you have a decent life going on. I spend probably too much time here because my life is just shit.

42 here you're never to old to shitpost

I'm 24 and I fucking hope not

Get back to usenet, ancientfag!

I am 26 now and I've been using image boards since 2005. They always sucked but at least back then there was more gems within all the shit. Things have changed and I definitely don't have as much fun as I used to. Yet here I am.

30 here. The world is ending, it doesn't matter. Everybody's fucked, nobody cares, fuck it.

How old is she? Don't have kids, they'll end up being spergier than you are.

38yo closet autist. Been doing online community stuff since the 90s and will probably keep going forever, albeit as a lurker.

The problem is that browser based communities are consodating or dying due to the console, app and mobile device explosion. Forums and IBs are better suited for "computers" tbh.

37

came here to find out about gamergate and found shitposting to be a great way to relax.

I've talked to people in their 60s and they browse imageboards.

26yo

been here for 5 years only but I love the anonymity.
like>>6006841 said it's great not worry about what some faggots on social media might judge you for. here ppl can still judge you but at least they don't know who you are and if your post is sincere or just trolling. and you never knw that about others as well. Is saying the truth? …!!!

I'm 37. I've had no fucking life for a LOOOONG time. (since i was 19)
This year however I've fucking had enough of it. I now have like fucking 30 friends and 1000 acquaintances, 3 girls i've fucked this year (without paying for a change) and 2 really good friends.
fuck internet addiction.

40 year old here just here for some laughs tbh

At my age, I'm lucky enough to be still alive, you assholes!
Yeah, here for some silliness.

OP here, glad to know I'm not alone.

How old, user? Are you one of these?

dude, im 46, and still posting. What the fuck else is there to do at work?!

shit, sometimes some of these threads or whatever you wanna call them "posts?"
make me laugh like fucking tears coming down my face

Who says you gotta grow up!!!!!

fuck normies and their society rules

I'm 12 ☠์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์☠์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์์

Was reading the latest posts in this thread and suddenly those fucking squiggles jumped out of nowhere, wew.

4chan had plenty of over the hill users, probably migrants or crossposters from SA. Someone in that other meta thread said 420chan and 7chan skew even older than we do. I always figured most 40+ users were on Reddit though.


Nailed me. I used to make OC and start threads on /n/ but after the IP leak debacle killed the usercount I just lurk out of loneliness.

Haha kill yourself my man. The average chan user nowadays has more in common with a redditor than anyone else on the internet.


Reading the last few pages before I stumbled upon this thread again have convinced me of one thing: The human race deserve to fucking die for being such cocksucking faggots. If you say anything bad about how poorly the world is run you're immediately accused of all sorts of shit and get told to go back to places and voice your unpopular opinion there, where you'll also be told to fuck off, why? Stormfags. Stormfags have cucked anonymous so professionally in the last few years that user is basically an extension of stormfront. Truly the average user is an absolutely pathetic creature nowadays, and I feel like a fucking idiot for ever deciding to lurk again.

If you have started lurking after 2010 all I can say is you should kill yourself, you faggot. Yes, I am mad (epic meme response denied), because of how many of you faggots were allowed to ruin riot. You are probably the most cancerous thing on the entire internet. If any of you are contemplating suicide and thinking of posting a thread, just fucking do it. You have ruined everything good about everything. You are the militant Islam of anonymous posting. End your life.

You haven't said what is a actually wrong in a wall of text.

wall of text == redditor

That's the level of trolling that justifies the death of the human race. Poor, unfunny, unoriginal and completely lacking in self awareness.

Case in point.

I'm 14 but Im' Pretty Much Smarter thin all my piers: so i have to find a place to discuss serious issues with other smart people so i browse image boards

I love you.

Do you love him against his will because he said he hates you, or because you are sick of Stormfags as well and he nailed the problem in that post?

He didn't nail anything. He just went on a rant about the golden years of high school being over.

t: 2013 oldfag

Kek

In a way, but I also wish there were more ironic Stormfags than genuine ones. Gets old really fast.

Exactly my point. Those days are over.

Unfortunately all we can do is watch, the average channer now is your 9gagger of half a decade ago, with elitism.

From the site I talked about earlier the key is to distance yourself from chans, but imageboards are fine. It's a weird psychological thing.

I would recommend we come up with a way to retreat, regroup and become the DPRK of cha- imageboards, even deliberately bastardising imageboards to a point of non-recognition so we don't get the newfags.

Remember when user was an apolitical nihilistic menace? That's what the world needs.

Also are the modern goons from SA or is it terminology overlap? I know that a few years ago the goons were SA, but now it seems like a slander against the shithouse Freech. Is Freech SA? Have the goons also been infected with faggotry? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

non-ironically.

Oldags? I'm an oldfag. And I say that Dysnomia (who's probably half my age) should start banning people based on a certain set of criteria that includes "nonsense" and "you're literally retarded".

Ban people because we're in the process of creating a widdle cwub… but seriously, lay down the banhammer at will.

t. 2013 oldfag

18, started going to 4chan when I was 12. Mostly lurked and made some OC when most people had never even heard of the term "meme". Anonymous boards did help me through some rough years.

the internet in the past was as autistic as today

I realize my post may have come across as facetious, but I'm serious: dysnomia should start banning anons at will.

The only faggots who will be banned are anons who need to be weeded out anyway.

SA was always gay. College Communists protesting their own dads, socializing and figuring out you can fuck with people on the internet and it actually feels like you've accomplished something.

yeah, no. Admins need to be kept on a tight leash

...

the first image board i remember using was eatabullet.com did anybody else here use it

Holla Forums is something different and something special.

Don't comply and mods will ban you and maybe even dox you. Don't like it? Doesn't matter. Fuck off.

Holla Forums doesn't have anything to lose.

According to this guy you have to kill yourself. Also "meme" was in use by 2010.

I'm sorry that you have to die so young. I suggest a method where you get ripped in half or completely smooshed. You could go for the high score but so many guys have been doing it lately you probably wouldn't get any attention.

Have you learned anything in your short years?

Well, my non-cancerous kiddo, you joined at the moment the internet turned into faggotry. I hope you chose the right side. You missed some good stuff, but I hope you can steer user from its autism


That is quite a guide to being a faggot. Well done.


Yeah, 8ch was asking for trouble allowing proxies and VPNs. We used to leave our system open and Russians spammed CP constantly.


SA was basically a namefag Holla Forums in 2007. Looks like faggotry has ruined it. Goons and btards were in a constant alliance beforehand. Shame on you all for fucking it up.

Fuck off Kennedifag,

I'm glad you're a dying breed.

Nobody gives a shit faggot.

Keep up the good work, user (probably dysnomia), and we'll make this place fucking great again.

I'm in it for the long haul, pal

im 27 and i feel too old for Holla Forums but i keep coming back.

Fuck off, child molester. We're immune to your faggotry. You are AnonTalk 2.0.

You're losing. You're going to be completely irrelevant soon. How does it feel?

You are literally a man pushing 30 clinging to relevance by posting images of a child who thinks he is some Weev equivalent but is actually some kike faggot everyone that has ever dealt with you hates.

Just fuck off, this is an oldfag thread, not a 2013 oldfag thread.

I'm 32

You're being filtered out Gilbert-kun

Just shut your stupid mouth. Nobody cares.

Heh… what?

Who cares. OP here, just post more porn before this becomes a meta thread about dysnomia vs the spammers.

You wanna spamma porna mea??

OK'ya…

Fuck off, when did you become such a faggot?

When did you oldfags decide to be walked all over? Get it together.

...

...

I'm just sick of talking about it. Just not in every thread, ok?

38 here
still lurking and shitposting on some chans, half-chan is still usefull for news and stuff as long as you stay away from the popular boards and 420chan for reasons
rarely come here but bored right now
don't have much porn to share, except from my old folder circa 2002 but it's mainly stuff like this, for obvious reasons

Literally an old fag. Bless you.

Amazing

Haha, kill yourself my man.

Don´t worry.

...
