Holla Forums History

When did Holla Forums die? Or was it always shit? Or was 'it was always garbage' a meme?

I can't tell, I'm only 24 and started browsing at 18. I guess I could just read it on ED but I'd rather hear it from you guys.

which Holla Forums?

This one or the other one?

if it's the other one, it happened when they introduced janitors and heavier policy/rule enforcement that got all the neat threads banned faster than anyone could post in them.

if it's this one, about 5-6 hours ago when the new mod decided to spam the board so hard it slid all the threads off the site

infinite implementation incompetence

I've been around almost since the beginning. On early 4/b/ when it was enjoyable shit, every raid resulted in cancer following the raid home, but the worst of the cancer would be chased off by the CP and animal abuse. The hotpockets decided to clean things up and got rid of most of that and with that Holla Forums lost its shield. It started picking up normalfags, and these normalfags would even advertise the site on raids, accelerating the process. Chanology activated them and they pulled in their status-seeking friends in massive numbers and they spread onto other boards. It was pretty much unrecoverable at that point.
The lesson learned was that you need some sort of poison on a site that the people you want to stay can stomach but is fatal to anyone else.

fucking disgusting, stop posting this trash

Do yourself a favor. Read it on ED first, because there are some things that you need to know that will get deleted if mentioned here, so you are not likely to get a full and complete story here. Let alone an unbiased one.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about your post. Why don't you grow up and quit with your "stop liking what i don't like" bullshit or else go to disney.com or someplace where things are more to your liking. You are cancer.

user, you're taking this too personally
are you insecure about your unusual fetishes ?

this

It started as a 2chan clone
For Mootles friends a little home
A place to chat and call their own
and let ideas free to roam.

When you let ideas free
There is no way to certainly
contain their strength and make them be
again your own, So Moot did see:

A visitor, or two or ten
and hundreds more who came to lend
a thought, a hand, a new-found friend
But bigger! moar! it would not end.

By word of mouth there rose a roar
No longer dozens, came by score
of thousands, millions! many more
their thoughts and dreams to there outpour.

And what had once been just a board
and just a place to strike a chord
or crack a joke, well now they warred
against some random other horde.

The memes! the battles! lulz and games!
Boisterous with varied aims
to close a pool or mock a dame's
unworthy vapid haughty claims.

And so our 4chan grew and grew
it gave us wings to fly, and glue
and with our posts turned us into
the family that we never knew

But all good things will find an end
The highest fall.. our souls did rend
Right in the back, a knife did send
our once beloved leader, friend.

Cuck! Cuck! the evil fuck
who sold his family for a buck!
Who sold his soul and freedom's cry
for some ugly bitch he saw pass by

Is that how it went down? I thought the new mod came after spam-nuking.

...

Yep. not the guy your replying to, but I witnessed it.


I expect some fuckery to start in a couple of days from the new vol.

You need to calm down

test

Holla Forums was always shit, and Holla Forums will always be shit. Just accept it.

It looks like it may have been this afternoon.

No, he's pozzed by Holla Forums. Shit mod. Go say something bad about Holla Forums right now, se what happens.

Actually it's because you have multiple Holla Forums is dying threads, you are lucky you didn't get banned for it tbh. Had nothing to do with Holla Forums

No. this faggot place died at the beginning of march in 2015.

hotwheels went through some edgy phase and shit got fucked.

LONG LIVE Holla Forums.CO

this place use to have threads that would get insta ban on forever. animal crush, the "occasional autism" thread of you know what, and much more

9 Gag lives!

July 5th
Chad poster and the 32chan guy get in a spam off chad is mostly winning

Soon after it was created, i.e. when it went mainstream.
Keep in mind that the original concept of Holla Forums was to keep it as the spin-off of Something Awful edgy forums. Since in 4chan there was no registration, mods had little control on the userbase and thousand of bans meant nothing in the long run.

I'm sure the history is missing the part that said moot just wanted an email with "cock" on it, and that his noble intention was people posting porn on 4chan so he didn't had to look in the internet for it. Someone post his SA posts with this…

couldn't have said it better myself.

Anyone has this shit? I don't remember ever seeing those.

This is the most concise and detailed explanation of the history of 4chan that I have ever found on the internet.
Basically Holla Forums, and 4chan as well to a point started out as a rather small community of early 21st century internet dwellers. Something Awful was a forums website like 4chan if you had to sign up and pay for it. The mods over at Something Awful became very strict, causing a refugee migration to the new 4chan.
4chan grew in userbase and adopted the culture of the SA users 2004-2006 during the "golden age" ,people had humor, didn't get triggered, no "raiding" or "legion" culture. CP threatened the site legally, that was the worst problem. Chanology was the event horizon of 4chan's culture. Legion raiding culture hijacked the website. It never had a chance to fully recover from that damage.
Popularity of the website grew due to the modernization of the internet as well as the scandals 4chan got involved with such as MLP, furries, Reddit, social media, the fappening, and eventually gamergate. The culture became diluted. OC wasn't made, there was no sense of humor, echo chambers were made in every board. Nobody, left or right could accept that they may be wrong about their opinions and all jokes triggered them. Modern day Holla Forums is constantly filled with porn 24/7 and there's very little actual discussion.
So a lot has happened to Holla Forums and the culture has been mixed out of existence much like Holla Forums claims european culture is.

You're welcome

Phoneposting should be instantly permabanned without exceptions.

...

Holla Forums and 4chan arent the only ones who got fucked that year. I'm from /r9k/ and we got raided by normalfags. /r9k/ is nothing like either the feels era or the first era. It's awful and filled with bragging Chads and normalfags.

...

Rude. We're comrades user. Don't fight it.

dubs of truth


Comrades implies a cooperative relationship. We do not have that.
Fuck off.
See? Our relationship is antagonistic, not cooperative. So fuck off back to r9k, or if it is too shitty for you go to 4chan. Nobody here cares where you go as long as it isn't here.

Also smells of antifa.

It's at this point, that i just start deleting posts at random. Because - I can.

Is it not possible that phones just became more popular during those years and more people migrated. I started using my phone alot more and my laptop less, even at home.

You don't speak for everyone else here.

Why the fuck would anyone willingly submit themselves to mobile browsing? If I was given the choice to fight in a war, or use a fucking phone to browse the internet, I'd pick the fucking war, because it'd probably be more enjoyable than surrendering myself to mobile AIDS.

I fucking hate phones, and normal fags for using them all the god damn time.

I can handle anything besides CP. That shit's fucked. not that I've ever seen any

Use my phone to go on here sometimes not a big deal.

How is it fucked? Pedos keep normalfags from coming here, go back to 4chan.

Shut up faggot

Phones are gods gift to humanity

Same. The only reason I have one is because my mother insists that I have one. I tell her that I have no fucking use for it but she can't comprehend a life without a cell phone, so I take the free phone. At least emulation is better now so it's basically a gameboy

phone is literally alien-tech that allows you to communicate with other human wirelessly without any real distance problem

also, I actually came from 9gag, I think around 4ch Time's influential person raid. for me, 4ch ends when m00t introduced janitor and it's officially dies on GG incident after m00t sells 4ch to jews. 8ch is basically wave of excitement and dullness, it's like necrophilia, dead but exciting

See telling him to go back to 4chan doesn't work, but if he saw a pedo thread with a bunch of scantily clad little girls on the front page of Holla Forums every day I guarantee you he'd fuck off back to 4chan just like all the normalfags did back when hotwheels was kang.

THE GAY COMMUNITY

Vote for me as your new Mod, and things will change for the better straight away!

Yes, I see that.
You have been a mod for several days now, and already there is an uptick in pedo threads and there have been twice the number of Attention Whoring Sticky threads than usual. Good job.


Faggot.
