Yes, it would have been nice. But also, being on 4chan from the start. And being mature enough to appreciate this site, or the internet in general. The worst thing is, now that I'm a NEET, cyberspace is no longer worthwhile. I always fantasize myself starting my NEET life in 2001 instead of 2011. Because of the state of the internet.

I mean sure, I was online at the time, but far too young to understand what this special place really meant.

I feel like somebody played a cruel trick on me.

I got my first computer when I was around 14, around 1995. I miss the older internet. There were no normals on it at all. Speed was horrible but it felt so rewarding when you finally go something downloaded. I met my girlfriend of 10+ years on IRC back in the '90s. It was the only reason I didn't end up alone forever.

I really wish I had spent more time on BBSs instead of moving to AOL like some idiot. I was 12 tho

Though now that I think about it, old AOL was still pretty interesting, with all the MUDs, warez mailing lists, hacks, etc. I guess I miss when most people who used computers were still nerds. I don't know what an equivalent space now would be, since now nerds are all faggot normals too.

Nope. The internet has gone to shit. I've been a Hiki fora long time. When I first started spending a lot of time online it was pretty easy to make friends on various forums and chat rooms. There was lots to learn and explore and more importantly "discuss"

Now you are nothing and nobody and don't have a voice unless you have tits and a vagina, pic whore yourself, or are an "e-famous" youtube or stream celebrity. There is the attention whores and their loyal underlings and anyone who goes out of line will be silenced via ban/mute/ignored or what-have-you. On some 4chan boards there are even Janitors who white-knight female tripfags. on /vg/ there is a lot of this so if you're planning on posting in a general make sure you're not rude to that particular general's special snowflakes.

Also be sure to get it trending on twitter, add/subscribe on youtube and donate donate donate! :)

I think the Internet was at it's best around 5 years ago. It was still pretty big back then, but it hadn't started losing some of it's more out-the-way parts. I reckon it's only going to go downhill from here, as more and more people work to push regulations onto the Internet and it's ground down into smaller and smaller chunks to fit on people's phones.

Nice question. The internet as a way to get informations is awesome and is getting better and better.
Talking about communities... I don't know. Many of the great ones I knew just died out, old great people disappeared and in the new younger forums I sort of feel out of place. 4chan is actually one of the best places to discuss, when people stop shitposting and pretending.

Back in the days I started whoring myself by faking my voice with one of those programs. I spent a lot of time and effort on that and I ended up with a really natural voice. Ended up masturbating and moaning for people from time to time but in the end it sort of lost flavor, I don't know why. Probably because everyone is a complete idiot and as soon as they see someone with a girly name they go in a sort of "OMG A GIRL MUST TALK WITH HER MUST NOT LET GO AWAY" mode.

I'm happier with the internet than I have been for a while.

A couple communities I used to visit have gone to shit, but there are a lot of them which still have the same people posting from five or ten years ago, and the newcomers aren't bad either.

And more stuff is uploaded these days than I can ever hope to consume, and the internet is fast enough that despairing at downloading a gigabyte or two is a thing of the past.

There are still some safe havens, but for the past 10 years the internet has been changing in a bad way.
I don't know, perhaps is because of all the social networking bullshit that has been going on, but the quality of people you can find is steadly decreasing over time.
Animefags used to have tastes and weren't obnoxious, nowadays they're all over moe shit and stuff like Naruto or that dot hack crap.
Vidya is the same, more casual as /v/ would say, and more focus on story and graphics instead of gameplay.
Hell even VN addicts have been taking a quality hit, with people claiming stuff like MuvLuv or GoreScreamingShow to be fucking masterpieces because VIOLENCE AND BLOOD AND DEATH SO COOL RITE ?.

I'm going to disregard areas of the internet that I don't bother with, like Facebook or Twitter and all of that bullshit. There will always be terrible shit that I have no interest in, and no one is forcing me to have anything to do with it. So I'll just skip on complaining about it and talk about the areas of the internet that do interest me.

There are negatives and positives. Places of discussion, like 4chan or forums, have noticeably declined and there has been a change in the atmosphere, if that makes sense. I suppose it's shit bleeding over from the "other" parts of the internet, or maybe it's something else. I don't know, but things aren't the same as they used to be and it makes it really hard for me to discuss things now. Even here I have trouble because of how it is different.

But there has been a great benefit in the availability of things, like things to pirate, I mean. That would be the greatest thing about the internet as it is now. You have access to pretty much anything you want with (usually) minimal difficulty. If things continue in this direction, or improve, I think I can live with the internet as it is. but if things get worse, then I don't know. I don't really know what I'll have left anymore if that happens. It's just wait and see now, I think, since there's nothing I can do about it. It's in other people's hands.

I would really hate to go back to when things used to be harder. To use a more recent example, I can't even browse 4chan under its default settings anymore. I have to at least have a thread updater and the quote inline thing. I don't know how I used to do it when I first started coming here.

The internet started really going downhill 2010 when I think everyone and they're mother started using it through Facebook and discovering everything that has been on it for the past 5 years or so. These are people that would not even be on the modern internet otherwise so of course just about everything is shocking or hilarious to them and they spread the news everywhere of this massive world that exists right under their nose and before you know it everyone is here. And so it will just keep getting worse and worse in many ways. But on the other hand it has gotten better because of the massive amount of content on the internet just keeps expanding. So all in all it's now a overly social, normal shit hole with a lot more content.

It made half the other VN readers leave too. And it's not only that. With the VN topics of /jp/ having been so heavily shafted, lots of other things has gone missing too, of topics not even related to VNs.

It has made /jp/ stagnate badly. It truly is your typical niwaka board now, except not as most of those tend to discuss games and /jp/ often enough tend to not even be able to carry on with topic consistently beyond 30-50 posts no matter the topic.

And I am not even against the niwaka threads. It's just that even those have deteriorated since /vg/ was made.

No.

Fucking copyright endorsing niggers should get shot.

And social networking has become the dominant side of the net, steering the content and rules to whatever inane bullshit sells more among stupid teenagers today.

I wouldn't like to go back to the days where I had to wait 30 minutes to play a shitty flash game at cartoon network, but damn internet has become accessible to too many, too stupid people. And the government isn't helping at all.

>just about everything is shocking or hilarious to them

You know, I was a newfag in the 90s, being shocked by the internet until I got over it but the other thing, I cannot ignore.

The thing I dislike most is how people find out about these ANCIENT fucking memes and fucking spam them everywhere like they are fresh and new, and they don't even understand why they are funny. I mean most of them don't have a reason for being funny, but it's like how most of /jp/'s humor is self referential. It's pointless to post them outside the context of /jp/ but you still see them around 4chan.

Now imagine that with fucking /b/ memes from 2005 being spouted by 14 year olds.

Another good example is people think those damnable finnish bears are entirely some sort of anti-Amerifat meme on other 4chan boards.

Shit I wouldn't be surprised to see people start making references to this one day.

Everything always gets worse. It's a fact of life.

People are born, grow old, and break down.

Buildings are made, grow old, and get worn paint and covered in vines.

Stars get made, run out of fuel, and explode.

Everything degenerates, especially places like websites and businesses once they expand their user base. Anything with standards will degenerate once those standards are lowered, and even if they're prevented, they'll degenerate anyway as the userbase grows old and has to be replaced.

And yet still everyone feels the need to dirty the air with all this "hurr durr everything's going to shit...why aren't things as good as when I thought everything was good?"

I don't necessarily disagree. There are all sorts of problems that we need to work to understand and deal with. I'm just sick of the huge number of people who go on about "back when 4chan was good" when what they really mean is "back when 4chan was new to me."

As far as the rest of the internet? We're smack dab in the middle of the biggest transition period of the internet yet. We're on the cusp of the internet finally fully integrating with our physical lives, and yet people are pining about some imaginary "golden age?" It's silly.

Think of the internet like a small village that suddenly get a surge of popularity, maybe because someone found a gold mine there.

Before, normal people can't give two shit about the place. People who came, are normally like-minded. There might be a couple of rude people, but there weren't many of them, and old timers can introduce and guide them around. Newcomers slowly adapt to the life there, or leave because they are disliked in general. Life is slow, life is good.

Suddenly, something caused an upsurge of migration from outside. What's worse, these people come without even being introduced to the local 'unwritten' rules. They bring their own ones from where they came from, and do it their way because "that's how we do it over my city, son. It's not illegal according to the law." The rest is history.
