Newfag.
Why are we still here
Yea Forums (and Yea Forums more specifically) started its slow death after MARBLECAKE
That's one of the last things I remember before leaving, other than occasionally visiting... We always said Yea Forums was never good, but looking at it now, I never really knew how bad it could get.
The "it was best to be a teenager in early 2000s" thread got nuked before I got the chance to post this, but by golly I'm gonna post it here anyways.
OP is correct. I was in 1987 and I literally got the best part of two decades, as the absolute optimized age for each of them. Nothing will out do childhood in the 90s followed by teenage at the turn of the millennium.
>The dawn of the personal home computer connected to the world wide web
>Quiet peaceful neighborhoods you could play outside in without concern for safety
>Media that was racy, sexy and fun with every industry brimming with heart and soul
>Musical era that was the last to have its own distinct sound and feel
>Animation reverence in full swing
>Video rental stores charging a dollar per movie or game
>Comic book shops featuring the greatest creators of all time
>Traditional gaming was blowing up in popularity and featured a golden age of releases
>Dedicated roller skating rinks and other outdoor sports were supporting an active lifestyle
>Toys industry blowing up bigger than it ever had before
>Arcades that were operating at their absolute height during this time with innovative and mind-blowing cabinets and simulators
>Hollywood squeezed out the last bit of creativity it had before it realized it can be done cheaper, with computers, sans talented individuals
>Video games finding their way through the couch co-op era straight through to high speed internet pc gaming
>MMORPGs were innocent and teeming with immersive experiences; you could literally support a second (digital) life
There's just nothing quite like that twenty year long paradise known as the final gasps of air that the middle class took before the rich crushed all life out of it.
Add to that I was going through THE CHANGE right around when I discovered Yea Forums, and that made it an even more of a special era to be a part of because of the timing.
don't forget. you're here forever
something went wrong at some point
>tfw the cancer killing Yea Forums actually killed Yea Forums
I wish I hadn't lost my archives, because I was saving entire threads and all images since I found Yea Forums in 2004. Man, I'd give anything to browse through that archive again...
I've got a Yea Forums folder from 2005-2009ish with something like 2-3k files in it on an old laptop that I really need to transfer over to the new PC (almost 5 years old at this point kek). Why am I such a lazy faggot.
I have some random archives from around 2007-2009
most of it is shit
When did captcha get implemented on Yea Forums? 2011?
You're OK, dude; no need to be hard on yourself. I'm just glad someone is still preserving that piece of internet history.
Now there's a picture I haven't seen in years
Used to have this picture on a binder back in high-school. Had "Yea Forums" bottom text on it. God I was retarded
let me check those trips for you user
>filename
I can't remember exactly who drew this but I think it was the one-eye anonymous
>Spring 2003-2004 here
I think i was lurking 1-2 years before my first post, from 2006 i started to get into "conversation".
This place was confusing place back then, there was nothing like this before
I was born in 2003
this thread is for people made with uncontaminated pre-9/11 semen
How do you guys put up with the actual loss of this place? It's not really here, it's just a mirage. There's no true randomness here anymore. I will never forget the time that I was at the head of a taskforce investigating a cereal killer. The tl;dr bellow for you:
>find a thread asking for "friends" to come find something that was hidden, and a vague location was provided with clues
>no one goes, OP is a faggot and gets upset
>reveals what was hidden at the construction site, his laptop full of his "works"
>second thread the following night, asks people to come meet him at a parking lot near some trail head
>someone responds with "be there in 30 minutes"
>the time passes by, all of us dogging on OP not delivering, when suddenly the user had arrived on scene
>he's posting pictures, and then the OP is posting pictures of him following the dude
>suddenly the guy stops posting, and OP says "you brought me a new friend! thank you :))))"
>real shit kicks in when we start getting pictures of the black user responding tied up in electrical cord in a dingy basement
>the OP keeps asking for all of Yea Forumss help to become famous, and to find more 'friends'
>spent the next week investigating, tracking down the locations and finding out the make and model of the cars in the photos
>I was the commissioner who organized a search party, and I had failsafes put in place to make sure the supposed kidnapper couldn't infiltrate the group and throw us off his trail
>at one point I had five investigators in the state gathering evidence for our cause
>meanwhile OP makes more threads, tries to kidnap more people
>we're camping police scanners at this point and hear a report of a suspicious car with a smashed rear windshield
>little did we know that was the killer's vehicle, but we were starting to piece the mystery together
>discovered what highschool this guy goes to, hot on his trail
>he finally uncovers the truth about the whole ordeal live on omegle
>op was a faggot
>How do you guys put up with the actual loss of this place?
by unironically not giving a shit about anything. it is not like anyone should live on here. take a couple peeks. maybe shit post a few times and then go visit the other hobbies until the urge to go piss in the ocean of piss comes back
I first came here in the earliest of days, 03-04... Many computers, Many lost archives, Many years, and a stint in prison later, I still stop in.
Even though it was a ruse, we had an actual manhunt underway, and we nearly found out who he was. The reason he came clean was because of how close we were actually getting to the truth, and he was afraid for HIS life. But man, I'll never forget that investigation... it was quite a thrill. No one here has the BALLS to try something like that faggot OP did, falsifying a kidnapping. He would get hard core shut down if he tried it today on this place, and that's what saddens me.
She's cute. I love Yea Forums. I'm never going to leave
Good to see you Yea Forumsuddy
Reporting in. Where’s Moot?
Summer of 2010. The summerfags were particularly bad that year and broke moot's brain. The captcha is the price we all pay.
What, asshole? I'm on lunch right now, fuck do ya want?
that smoke contaminated all the semen that was produced after
>can you imagine what fatty tan must look like today?
>also, filename
I think it was the aftermath of the Scientology protests that really sealed the end of me spending all my free time here.
No one's seen him since the sex change, now there's just a faggot slanteye pretending to be him.
That is someone I haven't thought of in many years. The camwhore wars that happened back then, 2005ish? Back when we still had WT Snacks.
I didn't really like snacks and I didn't care when he got fired, but I did listen to his DJ stream at the time however long ago that was
2004, freshman year of high school. The internet was more fun back then
>but how could I resist
For me it 03-04, my Senior year, I was by some friends. Before 1000 get.
wtf you want?
Yea Forums has been there the entirety of my adult life. A senior in high school discovering Yea Forums in it's truest infancy, less than 1000 posts on Yea Forums total. I can't abandon my home.
back then they held "townhall meetings" on the rizon irc server and they would mute the channel and you would msg moot with suggestions. I wanted to see filenames because at the time you couldnt see file names and moot responded with soemthing like he liked the idea but it seems like it never was going to happen. I took a long hiatus and returned almost a decade later and now there are fuckin' filenames.
>I know I had absolutely nothing to do with it, but maybe enough people wanted it and it just happened
Just to suffer.
Ben, we're stuck here forever
I remember getting on my bike with $5 and meeting up with my buddies to play Gauntlet at the arcade. It was the best of times.
file names have been visible since at lease 2007, likely sooner
I might have left just before that and came back
but not that much sooner. it was not visible in 2005 or 2006
>How do you guys put up with the actual loss of this place?
By only stopping in every now and then. Really depressing what a shithole it's become. Somehow moralfags are now the majority, Yea Forums is now just Reddit 2.0 where you can say nigger, and get (you)'ed by a dozen trannys for saying it. I haven't seen an epic bread in the better part of a decade, shit that has potential is 404'ed while all the perpetual threads of faggotry dominate the board. The days of OP sometimes not being a faggot are over. There is no more win, only cancer, and it's sad.
sadly accurate
We used to be known in the media as being "Hackers on Steroids" We sowed chaos. Then suddenly people took the "Anonymous" Identity and tried to make it a cause.
what the fuck is marblecake?
Boxxy killed it, and then ponyfags just finished it off
Isn't this pic of her older then 2006?
>being this retarded
>reminder to newfags (2007+) to lurk more
Damn that's the cutoff? 06 is oldfag now then.
This site sucks now. Stop coming here.
The only thing I got from this place now is the community in a certain thread and randomly meeting younger people with too much free time on their hands.
Born in '86. Been lurkin' this shithole since 2005, and only heard about it because someone on YTMND cited Yea Forums as the source of an image. Things were actually more entertaining around here at the time. Sure you had generic porn threads and whatnot, but for everyone one of those you'd have a handful of threads full of genuinely funny or creative shit. I was already seeing a decline around the time the Boxxy thing and then the "ya done goofed" guy happened, but those were definitely the death knells.
the earliest I can prove to myself I was here
>I know I can't prove to anyone else
was a picture I saved in october of 2004. I know I heard about Yea Forums earlier than that from the SA forums but I mostly ignored it at the time
I don't know what made me finally go check it out
