I think I came to 4chan for /gif/ back in 2004 or so, I miss the days when porn was the minority there.

I didn't actually bother going to /b/ for a while because I looked at it and found what you self-proclaimed oldfags worship to be utterly retarded. I decided to go back when you fags starting shitting up my regular forums with your Habbo raids and ended up sticking around for /a/ since it was actually good back then.

tl;dr /b/ was always shit

I've been here since 2005, but I spent my first year in /c/ and /e/. Then I moved to /b/ in 2006. Epic lulz were had. /v/ was my next board. Then /jp/ was made, and I never looked at another board ever again.

What? They were shitstorm threads with whining and trolling.

>> No.2042863

Started in the vast wasteland of /b/ around July of 2005, quickly became assimilated into /m/, /d/, and /v/. Hit up /f/ and /n/ (when it was news) on occasion, but really got dragged into /tg/, until someone posted what they claimed was the theme song for the legions of Chaos from WH40k. It was really an a cappella version of "U.N.Owen was her?", and it sealed my fate here in /touhou/.

There's no going home again.

Amazingly enough, those threads lead to a lot of good camaraderie in the early days of /jp/. A lot of good laughs, too.

Some people really were trying to get /a/ and /jp/ back together, some were just having fun, and most were thinking of what to do now that a whole new board was open to them. It was the beginning of something awesome, and the good, anarchic feeling was palpable.

Now, it's /b/ IS AWESOME LET'S EMULATE, or /jp/ is shit, or more 3D/JAPANSHIT and less everything that this board was actually created for...

Well, whatever. I still remember when we had dreams. It was a feeling of belonging that didn't necessitate conformity and assaults on every little thing that someone enjoyed. You didn't start a thread and immediately get bombarded with things like "IT'S SHIT, RIGHT?" "IT'S SHIT." the moment after repeated ad nauseum for no reason. This emoticon nonsense wasn't used as a trolling tool with such gusto. Lots of other things. People didn't look at /jp/ as its sole purpose as being shitting on everything that got moved here, trying to turn it into a new /b/, and whining about every little thing. Japanophiles didn't make it their godsent mission to try to destroy every thread that didn't begin with SO I'M IN JAPAN, COREA, NUKES NUKES LOL, or non-memes like that retarded bird.

At least the dog jumping through hoops was interesting, if falling in a similar category.

I, for one, believe that all emoticons should be banned.
I don't understand why you would use them, even be it for the purpose of trolling.
If you troll using emoticons, people will get annoyed but will ignore you.
If people ignore emoticons, new people might believe that it's alright to use them.
Please, emoticon trollers, tell my why you would want to use something as stupid as emoticons for your amusement.

I'm here since late 2005 / early 2006, though I lurked on /w/ for more than a year and half.
Then I went to /b/ and I liked it, especially with the habbo raids and the nightly confession threads. I tried /a/ too, but it was shit, except the VN discussions. I just couldn't care about the opinions about the actual 'best' anime.
With time, I started to visit /a/ more often, because my interests in VNs grew bigger and /b/ started to suck. Now I'm here and both /a/ and /b/ are died for me.

Tl;dr: /a/ and /b/ sucks, /jp/ is where the gods lurk.

I first started using them as a way to respond to other trolls while I saged them. I got tired of that and by this point emoticons just made me RAGE. Then there are times like earlier today where shit is so fucked up that it's easier to join them than it is to fight them.

As terrible as that sounds, it was the most fun I've had here since the janitor started deleting loli imouto threads. But really, it's low level trolling and I feel bad when I do it; the only thing that makes it worthwhile would be the amount of reactions you can get out of people with the least amount of effort.

Seriously, DO NOT REPLY TO TROLLS. Not if someone else has replied to them. Not even to sage them or counter-troll. Even one reply from you and the troll has won. There's no feeling worse than making a troll post and having no one respond.
