What was Yea Forums like 15 years ago?

Not the easymodo style archive.

It was a lot more fun posting on Yea Forums. Especially when you're part of the hivemind/watching aots with Yea Forums. Although I was only here starting 2006/7

Way less trannies, but the faggots had a sense of humor.

Basically old Yea Forums, but with less porn.

You know how we think our teenage years on the internet were embarrassing? It was normal back then. All the emotes, memes before the memes, and stupid shit. All if it. Yea Forums became elitist because we all grew up and got embarrassed of our teenage years. But nowadays it's just a mixed bag.

what is this "cringe" shit, this a zoomer thing too. I don't lurk like I used to I guess.

>baka desu senpai gets filtered
>cringe and based does not

it's from fucking Yea Forums of all place
Hiro unironically killed Yea Forums when he kicked the wrestling fags from Yea Forums. They never mentally recovered from it and went fucking bonkers over the years. And for some reasons more and more users latched into their lingo. It started with only based at first and then even shit like rent free and have sex got on every boards.

>15 years
>Think its an exaggeration
>Remember that Yea Forums was made in October 2003
>Yea Forums was the first board, then being fused with Yea Forums
Dang.

Didn't "based" originate from Yea Forums proper?

A whole lotta desu.

No, you fuck. It came from Yea Forums in 2012.

SEETHING

Unironically Yea Forums used to be the best board on Yea Forums up until a couple of years ago when abib and his tranny janny crew started policing Yea Forums so hard most of decent posters just left

based

Basically the same pseudo-intellectual-gainax dick riders, even hunter x hunter 1999 was praised

Evangelion
Kare Kano
Hunter x Hunter
Inuyasha
Akira
Legend of the galactic faggots

those were the main convo's

Sounds like a dumb nigger

That makes me feel a bit better that I was pretty much Yea Forums only for those years.

Full of namefags and tripfags

Wooow you fucking pissed me off so fucking much you pretentious prick. I will gladly never come back here. Cancer mixed with salt and experts REEEing at each other. Fucking kys you damn mongoloid nigger. I can't stand this board. I will get better answers on fucking bant than here. Anima & Manga?

How do you lack so much self awareness that you use the term "zoomer" but hate the term "cringe". Cringe has been around alot longer and is an actual word used by normal people.

FUCK NIGGERS
FUCK KIKES
AND MOST OF ALL
FUCK JANNIES

>before /pol/faggotry
>before the leddit paranoia
>before we started taking dumb jap cartoons so seriously and became afraid of having fun
take me back

Still sucked.

Worse. Image spam, gorespam, tripfags everywhere, and even more autistic retarded trolling. Imagine a group of hyenas rather than human beings.

The only thing bad about Yea Forums now is some /pol/ migrants. And this board doesn't even have the most /pol/ migrants. Try Yea Forums or Yea Forums.

>leddit
>paranoia

Before Reddit it was Gaia. The kids always played internet tribalism.

still shit, just a different kind of shit

alexa.com/siteinfo/reddit.com
> This site ranks: #16 in global internet engagement
Gaia was more fucking niche at it's peak then Yea Forums is right now, it's like saying because rock throwers didn't bring us down in the past missiles don't do shit

Those were simpler times. Not just Yea Forums, internet in general was different to what it is today.

Only actual oldfags in the thread just fyi

Bring you down in what sense? Like the owner shuts down the site due to no traffic?

There were way less trannies than there are now, that's for sure.

But Yea Forums wasn't around 15 years ago-

oh.

That would be a waste of space, I mean replace. Reddit isn't a problem because they drive people away, they are a problem because they draw people in. The site address remains the same but the site itself doesn't.

Based originated from Lil B.

>using Yea Forums over /wooo/

their fault in the first place

That is certifiably untrue my zoomer friend. Granted they only posted on places like 7chan's /crossdressing/ board but trust me, they were always around.

wow this ABIB nigger needs to fuck off Yea Forums forever

Yea Forums used to be a lot more sincere and there was more levity to discussion.

There was no captcha.

That argument reads the same as the "great white replacement" posts on /pol/. Which is very interesting.

Sure, if you don't account for the fact that greencards exist and it takes no effort to actually post on Yea Forums, but sure.

This. Cringe has been around on Yea Forums for a long time but got shunned on many boards because normalfags loved to say it. It's somewhat ironic that Yea Forums, which came up with new shit it then quickly dropped after reddit and the rest of the internet discovered it, did a 180 and now steals normalfag shit. OC and creativity are truly a thing of the past here, every generational change still kept specific things but the replacement is pretty much complete at this point.

Yea Forums didn't even have that much porn. The first signs of Yea Forums going to shit were normalfags flooding Yea Forums and /gif/ with mediocre generic porn
