Trollface
I think it was the year giga pudding happened

How am I supposed to remember things almost 16 years ago? I do know people didn't call every image a meme back then, they knew the difference between a meme and an image macro.

This timeline has been scarily prophetic. I remember thinking the future categories didn't make much sense but wew lad here we are

hard to say since I found Yea Forums in 2006 but immediately went to 7chan because it was too fast here. that aspect of imageboard culture, the dozens of boards that would sprout up and develop their own userbases doesn't exist anymore. a lot of them are still around but they're full of dust and tumbleweeds. the only option now is to latch onto this diseased, lumbering beast like a flea and hope for some scraps of quality here and there.

No, I just stopped browsing Yea Forums when it turned to Yea Forums-lite. It was way better than the /pol/-lite bullshit it is atm.

I wish I knew about it but I was on dial-up back then and family needed it for school so it slipped past me. 2006 was when we got DSL and basically revolutionized my internet life.

Looking at Yea Forums again for a change due to E3, you could probably update it again with one-word-posts like "dilate", "based", etc.
Going there makes you wanna purge the whole board.

Anime-Random was such a weird board, yes.

I can't remember if it was Yea Forums or Yea Forums, but the board was full of some "Haikus About Cannibalism" tripfaggot.
Only good thing about modern Yea Forums is the lack of tripfaggots.

When did this board stop telling shit threads to fuck off? It used to be okay to self-moderate cancer, now retards just defend shit threads telling you "why u mad bro lol".

Mods = fags.
They've even been deleting weekly translation threads that have been around for years. Threads that don't even last 24 hours. The mods allow faggotry and actively try to prevent self moderation.

The hide function became widely available. Learn to self censor instead of asking for mommy to do it.

>ignore cancer and it goes away
Fuck off.

The general threads don't help either. You fags may not actively call them generals but you aren't fooling anyone. General threads are the most cancerous thing on this website. /vg/ is somehow worse than Yea Forums.

They're already over

Yeah, maybe WHINING fixes problems.

/vg/ has issues because you have games that have not received new content in 8 years or so still dragging along. Semi fresh generals and generals that barely keep above death like mount and blade are fine. Its shit like katawa with 4k threads that should had died in under 300 that are the nightmare.

Oh yeah, it's not like self-moderating and telling retards to fuck off worked before, you absolute shitstain.

Reddit. I admit I used it once too. Don't blame me though, you guys wouldn't help me find the porn mod I wanted for CM3D2

I hate Yea Forums so much for spawning that cancer.

I don't.

fuck. That's old.

because Yea Forums is the board for all the normalfags
maybe you should go back there

I thought /pol/ replaced Yea Forums as the most well known board. I mean it is essentially Yea Forums with a hitler moustache.

I forget

Yea Forums has been dead for years now. I don't know what hope you're holding on to. Nothing but porn and ylyl thread #555035 where the same shit gets reposted. Lots of crossboard incest, Yea Forums has had nothing it can call its own for years

Not holding onto anything. It's surreal watching what has been happening the past couple days, what do they hope to gain? They spam crap and then what? Yea Forums will never be anything more than bots and lowquality posts and clothed 3D whore, long gone are the days of CP, widespread loli, hentai, OC, Fun times, Raiding or anything requiring effort for the LULZ etc, Yea Forums is long dead.

Ive been here so long everything is hazy. I don't remember anything. Maybe its dementia but im 21. Been browsing since I was a kid.

The only board that actually self-moderates is /jp/, Yea Forums is a fucking joke compared to what it was. No one tells any of these "based" "shitpilled" crossboarding cancer faggots to fuck off here when they would have been told to fuck off to Yea Forums, Yea Forums, Digg, eBaums, literally anywhere not here in the past. Even during the floods in 2007-2008 shit was kept in check.
At a certain point in 2010-2012 when everyone tired of the constant floods and spam fucked off to other chans I did too. But they all died and the only choice left was to insulate yourself in a few select threads from the Yea Forumsermin, shounen cancer, and Accelspammer. To think that things are even worse now is a fucking disgrace. I blame Gamergate faggots and /pol/.

DESU DESU DESU, most likely, they were not 'meme's' at the time to me, just funny stupid in-jokes you see in all communities. I didn't browse Yea Forums all that much until 06 when I started seasonal watching. Prior to that Yea Forums was a 'there are funny threads on Yea Forums to check out once a week' kind of site for me. It was 07 when I became an F5 warrior for hours a day.

The first time I came here, I made a Naruto thread not knowing it was banned, and was confused because people kept spamming it with "sage" and calling dubs and other numbers. I assumed they were referencing sage mode somehow

Heh made me chuckle.

>sage is not a downvote

something something posting till you like it

moot was the first to grow up and realize what he created. He rejected it and tried to ruin it, resulting in the bastardization we have today. I'm sure you would have done the same after constant harassment from law enforcement about CP and FOOTBALL.

I didn't actually browse Yea Forums back then, but I was very caught up on the memes and was even making my own variants of them. I'm a Newfag at heart but I didn't start coming here until a while later.

When moot allowed narutards and by proxy all other shonen underages in

The meme that just lurking for years will mean you know everything that goes on in every anime, whether or not you care about it. I've been around for years and I still don't know anything about Evangelion other than it having a guy called Shinji and two girls called Rei and Asuka, the former of which has spawned a bunch of clones. Simply because I don't care about mecha.

Removing Yea Forums mod was a mistake. It shows how effective proper moderation is.

Unironically lurk more.

Arrived here during the desu days, a bit before 2005 i think
watching code geass s1 with Yea Forums was great, i wonder when did it all start going downhill.

Also, i miss touhou threads.

Stop forcing your shit on me, mechashitter.

>first
No idea, but there was still plenty of Waha posting, 'he posted CP, get him - flying motorbikes cops', cock mongler and moot in his cat form.

I didn't start using Yea Forums until like 2013, but I've been around Yea Forums since the 2010 WC and the
>putting ketchup in the fridge
days.

I forgot the first Yea Forums 'meme' I was aware of, but I would probably guess it was just Tomoko screencaps, if that even counts as one.

They don't have to deal with people who barely know what they're talking about on a regular basis though.

And they call out newfags and cross-borders. You all forget, you're supposed to acclimate to the board's culture, not just act like Syrian refugees.

Even this is slightly dated. How would she fare against have sex posting, how is this allowed and retrofags?

Same. I jumped ship from Yea Forums when it stopped being /random/ and started becoming /random porn/

I split when Yea Forums turned into the furry porn board. Yea Forums is a jumping off point for newfags until you find a board related to a hobby you're interest in.

I think I remember Sailor Bubba being good too.

I was here when ED launched dummy.

Im looking for a bento box, it cant be pinku (thats japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (thats japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii (cute)). And it would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i dont want my gohan (rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)

>sOmpai and dOsu spouters are the modern equivalent of kawaiifags, they're just so prolific that nobody bats an eye

I don't know if Yea Forums had this, and considering the source comic I would assume you did, but Yea Forums was extremely gay around that time frame due to the game of PRETEND.

2003 is newfag too

I don't think desu was around in 2003, since the Rozen Maiden anime didn't air until 2004 and no one cares about the manga.

I can't even remember, I lost my early Yea Forums folder when my hard drive failed years ago. Back then I only used to browse Yea Forums, but in 09 I somehow ended up watching Toaru Kagaku no Railgun after seeing some official art on Sankaku Complex and thinking Kuruko looked sexy so I picked it up and then realised it was still airing and boom I got into anime and then started checking out Yea Forums instead of Yea Forums and then stopped going to Yea Forums entirely.

So when newfags came here they thought the way to fit in was being the biggest fucking cunt you can be and to dump all your shit here then go back to the place you came from to be civil. They think it gives them a free pass to be retarded as long as they are here.
I fucking hate what this place has become.

Yea Forums isn't as bad as Yea Forums but not far off. Yea Forums used to have a sense of camaraderie because we were all social rejects who hated the real world. Now everyone is just bitter and angry and everyone is suspected of being an invader from outside.

To be fair there are a lot of invaders.
Yea Forums is lambasted by nearly every outlet of gaming these days because of how god damn political the industry has gotten.
I don't want to believe that there are people from the outside in Yea Forums. I don't want to believe people are that retarded. But as a giant purple dick monster once said; reality is often disappointing.
Yea Forums is a mishmash of everyone from everywhere. It has no voice anymore because Yea Forums is one person according it itself.
I'm not even sure who to blame anymore.

There's a second comic that's even gayer.

but balls didn't touch

Now THAT'S an oldie

The biggest reasons for board decline are:
-Advertisement (Fox News on Anonymous) leading to
-User population explosions (High thread creation/posts per hour on a finite thread board) reducing post quality combined with
-Limited moderation and lax moderation standards to prevent the situation from getting worse
The board > thread > post style cannot support a huge population without a decline in posting quality simply because threads need to be bumped more frequently to survive. Phone posting is another serious threat to post quality that showed up much later.

More actual underageb&s began posting (well before 2011) and they take it from being low-key lighthearted/amusing to be fucking way over the top and obnoxious.

The obvious reaction is to absolutely discourage things that they enjoy in a futile attempt to get them to leave.

I just really love anime and manga and want a place to discuss it.
Lately it's all about being at each other's throat all the time. Might be wrong but I feel like it went to shit around the time Franxx aired. I know there was always fanbase bickering but it was still mostly the outsiders that were the target of hostility. Now Yea Forums is just fighting itself all the time and people are starting shit on purpose because they enjoy the fighting more than the hobby.
I just wanted a place to enjoy weeb shit with my rude wierd friends.

There was spambots for years back then but for the last year leading up to before captcha was introduced was the worst year on Yea Forums of all time. Some boards were up to like 50% or more of OP threads being advertisements or other bot threads and those slower boards suffered from actual threads being swept into 404 from how bad Yea Forums was being flooded. I don't give a shit about posting instantly, meme/retarded OPs or how many people talk about how shitty 4chans gotten over the years, I'll take what's here now and fill out my captcha happily > "the absolute state!" of Yea Forums back then

Attached: sa9a7.png (1028x638, 503K)

Not him, but this has nothing to do with Yea Forums, you retard. Read ANN reviews: They are literally giving out bad reviews for some things being too "fanservicy", too sexual or "disrespectful" towards (fictional) women. And they aren't even making it a secret: They literally say so.
On the other hand, if an anime panders to that crowd, it will get shining reviews on certain sites, no matter how shit it is. (See: Devilman Crybaby.)
Hell, there's even a review site out there explicitely called "Anime Feminist" that's even more extreme in that regard.
And that's the absolute mainstream that shapes the opinions of more impressive viewers (mainly the younger audience). That's how bad it is already.

They aren't an active part of the industry, but sadly, they do shape a huge part of the so called "public opinion".
If you want a part of the industry that's pushing that shit, well, look at Crunchyroll (forcing political ideologies onto ZLS' Lily, for example).
Using political "progressivisim" (in name only, of course) as an argument to trash perfectly good anime that don't comply to it has become a staple of many reviews online. Anime aren't rated on their merit anymore, but on superficial political agendas they do or do not push (or can be reinterpreted as pushing).

DESU

Interest groups shill for support for their interests, big surprise. The executive boards of the studios and publishing houses couldn't give less of a shit about western review sites, and barely a shit about western streaming services. The feminist spook you are scared of doesn't apply to the anime industry. It doesn't even matter to Yea Forums since no one besides (You) Yea Forumsirgins give a shit what ANN or MAL says once it doesn't affect access to our illegal torrents and scanlations. If dub and official translation studios don't want to do this or that anime or manga because of some social justice agenda, who cares when we watch subs and read fan translations, or just get the raws? You learned moon, right?

Fucking nostalgia

Not Yea Forums but for me it was boxxy. I was cognisent of Yea Forums through old YouTube Yea Forums gif compilations with the sparta remix but boxxy is what made me start browsing for some reason.

The argument is not that it ruins anime itself (as long as it doesn't reach Japan). Hell, it doesn't even manage to hurt anime releases in the west. For example, coming back to Devilman Crybaby being shilled by those sites and now being stuck on Netflix with no legit release planned in the near future while Cutie Honey Universe, the other Nagai thing that got compared to it and talked down upon, getting a full Blu-Ray release with all extras while simultaneously being able at a cheaper streaming sevice as well.

The argument is mainly that it spreads certain narratives in the West, where you and me are, and gives arguments to trolls that come to sites like this one. What happened for ZLS was not that it got any less successful or any more succesful after certain sites did their misrepresentations. What happened was that the threads went to shit for one week solid, and still are a minefield today.
No, they are not destroying "the industry". They are just destroying "the fandom".

Avoid shit boards, ignore leaks from shit boards, don't reply to shitpost of the discord or pol kind.
It probably can't be stopped but trying doesn't hurt, hopefully some of them get tired when they post "seethe", "dilate", "have sex" or whatever garbage catches on for the 10th time in a day and get 0 (you)s

>Advertisement (Fox News on Anonymous)
I remember being particularly annoyed when this went down and everyone talked about "Anonymous" like some actual organized group when everything was literally, visibly, obviously just a bunch of random fuckers getting together to just be dicks.

...and then I remember when everyone and their dog wanted to be the next Advice Dog (I mostly browsed Yea Forums still), fucking shit ass. That made everyone want to start the next hot meme, bringing in more cancer.

Phoneposting is another issue, since people who wouldn't otherwise be on the internet all the time are suddenly coming in droves, they can literally shitpost on the toilet. Plus, due to the particularly dynamic IPs your phone gets, along with it being a second IP apart from your home IP address, people can (and do) dumb shit that'd get them banned, and then still be able to post.

oh, and election bullshit brought a bunch of people to the site and they never went away

When I first came here, Panty and Stocking must've still been airing, it was what I mainly remember seeing. I took big breaks (a couple?) for a while though because I was admittedly initially an underageb& that was too pussy and got disturbed by some shit I saw, whether it was Yea Forums or Yea Forums.
First meem though? Hard to say. I know I saw this before Nyanners even dared make a video of it, so let's go with pic related for now.

If the problem is essentially raids from the outside, Yea Forums used to have a defense against it. If some normalfag came in and started normalfagging it up, they would be hit with enough trolling, memes and layers of irony that they would leave of their own volition or else lurk moar and learn to assimilate. That's what has been lost over the years, the culture of old school trolling. Everyone now takes shit way too seriously and can't take it easy. No one knows how to turn a moralizing normalfag into a meme in an instant and turn their arguments ironically into our own to make fun of. Everything is this group is persecuting us or that site said something bad about us and bitching and moaning instead of raiding and loling and making it so that coming here was like going into a black box of Internet trolls and not the image board for reddit rejects it is today. Each new era of newfags chipped away at old Yea Forums until now where the average user is just a normalfag behind a meme mask with slightly edgy opinions they take way too seriously, and an "oldfag" is some cancer from 2013. It's a fucking joke.

wow what the fuck happened in 2010?

You are not wrong. But those other sites who do raids on Yea Forums (and that are incapable of having indivuals with opinions of their own) are in the majority nowadays, and we can't do anything about that.

reddit became popular.

Nah it's still just pepe/wojak edits ad infinitum.

What were jojo threads like before the 2012 anime aired?

I honestly don't remember, you will have to forgive me.
The first day you saw a meme here was the most important day of your life, but for me it was just another day.

Late 2010/2011 was when Yea Forums forever changed. People couldn't just shut the fuck up about plebbit and how they were stealing our memes. It became an obsession where anything associated with that place became corrupt and tainted; people actively rejected once-loved images like pariahs. I have no idea why it happened, it's not like memes were stolen before (ebaumsworld), maybe it was a small, dedicated group of shitposters. Such groups have existed in the past, and the amount of Costanza and some other guy I don't know image spam heavily implies forced memery.

>On the other hand, if an anime panders to that crowd, it will get shining reviews on certain sites, no matter how shit it is. (See: Devilman Crybaby.)
>And that's the absolute mainstream that shapes the opinions of more impressive viewers (mainly the younger audience).

been used as a scapegoat since atleast 2006 and I'm pretty sure even before that.

See, it's trolls like you who destroy this board.

This is the first Yea Forums related one in my folder. Goddamn, when do I leave?

Yup. Yea Forums has been a porn board for a long time.
Now it's mostly trap and gay porn.

What's next?

Stop wasting your time pretending to know about devilman and go read the manga you absolute faggot.

Fuck off, shithead teen.

There aren't many left who actually remember it...I guess you and I are here forever.

>remember when Yea Forums used to troll everyone?

Yes and that was the inception of the fucking problem. moot said at the start of the chanology shitfire that Raids were cancer. Going out to "troll everyone" was fucking stupid because it tracks shit from outside in. Rules # 1 and 2 used to be Don't Talk About Yea Forums. As in don't fucking interact with the world outside this site as a poster from this site at-fucking-all.

Otherwise you justify all the dumb-fuck /pol/fags who think they can use this place as their ideological soapbox to preach to the wider internet.

Never mention tripfags. They don't deserve to be remembered.

They do exist in a sense and it's even worse than you think. They're filled with whiny trannies and gay furries.

I'm GAR for Archer.
THIS PAINTING

It's less that and more about when we all became named as them.

God I fucking fucking hate trannies, they taint every single western anime community with their fake lives and stupid emotional bullshit, even bronies were less obnoxious then these fags.

Huh? I'm genuinely curious, what do they have to do with anything at all?

>what do they have to do with anything at all?
All of those people come to Yea Forums to shitpost. Crossboarders, teens, and especially teen crossboarders from sites like Tumblr and MAL.
People actually post links to their MAL profiles and defend that kind of narcisist autism.

The manga for that shit are far better than the anime. And no one seriously reads the novels.

>boards.fireden.net/a/search/text/myanimelist.net profile/start/2018-06-14/
51 results over an entire year for MAL profile posts hardly seems like a massive problem.

>The fucking dyson fan
Weren't Robotic Notes, Shin Sekai Yori and the Chelsea christmas tree 2012?

They are not the problem, they are a symptom of the problem.

>Still harping on about the tumblr and mal boogyman
It's 2016 election tourists who have lost interest in politics after the memes slowed down

In some threads. But in most, it's teens who shitpost on everyone who disagrees with their very limited views on things. Tumblr is extremely aggressive in particular since it's practically dead, ironically.
And MALtards are invading Yea Forums more and more, especially when people like you deny that they are. Trolls regularly go "Look at how good/bad this show's MAL scores are." as if it meant anything.

In a few threads that already attracted a great deal of shtiposting, like most KyoAni and Trigger threads, there has been yuri-related shitposting from either Yea Forumsermin who like yuri or those simply pretending to. Tellingly, the yurifags outside of those threads don't act like them at (or even bring up those shows).

I know that feel user.....
when do we drive these faggots out?

On Yea Forums? Lolicatgirls or that leek spin finnish? Miku song.
On Yea Forums, probably shoe kick edits, mainly with wtf boom laughing skull pilot or the animated explosion with a deer or something.

Desuspam, I didn't start posting on Yea Forums until a few years ago though, despite joining in '06.

Reddit and /pol/

This reflects Yea Forums in general though, Yea Forums shits on frogposters a lot, shit the last pic is basically just /pol/.

>mistaking Yea Forums with /pol/
At the very least check the fucking board you are posting on, nigger.

It was Yea Forums.

You just replied to a post I made when I was dru nk last night. Good job

Yes, I see no problem though, also when you see a shitpost that is 2 days old, don't you report it?

heh wat

Those threads were cherry picked, and if I recall correctly they were pruned.

When i first started browsing here Desu was still being used pretty regularly

>When was the last time Yea Forums came up with a new meme?
Define meme first.
