4cuckers, are you a newfag, or an oldfag?
2013 so newfag
>>482472 OG 8chan was the first imageboard I ever used. I started using it shortly after it went online and ended up spending an ungodly amount of time on the site. So, more of a newfag, but I've paid my dues.
>>482472 2021 nunewfag
2009 newfag
mid 2000's fag well be gone soon
2019 so oldfag
I'm from the future
2009, this place is too serious and gay for me, I miss the retardation of 4cuck already
>>482695 Sharty is always an option.
>>482697 It's even slower than here
>>482695 /v/ seems pretty nofunallowed, like you have to make a thread a certain way or get banned. But this /b/ is the current best /b/ I think.
>>482472 2007 eternal 4chan newfag. used original 8chan between 2014 and 2015 before going back to 4chan
>>482730 yeah, this site's /b/ has been pretty nice so far. the ryan thread getting pinned is really funny and the subjects of threads is pretty diverse instead of being predominately porn dumps and forced memes

Newfag here, never understood why oldfags just whine all the time about how good x era was instead of actually posting anything interesting.
>>482755 there is no singular oldfag "experience", so to speak. many people miss how /b/ used to be, even though it was always shit, especially after around 2010 or so. i myself don't like how politicized the site became during the 2016 election, but it wasn't ever really a problem for the boards i typically frequented.
>>482472 What defines an oldfag, and a newfag? Is the title of "oldfag" given to anons to who were around the early days of 4chan, or is it based on the number of years you spent on the site?

>>482755 People miss the culture in general, but it's hard to pin down because every board would have their own sub-culture. Making good threads isn't gonna bring that back, it'll either get buried under the flood of shit unless you get lucky and even if you do that's not gonna fix everything else. >>482769 Another problem that I think exists is stuff like pic related that brings newfags to the site who then freak out if what they see something that goes against whatever narrative about the website that a youtuber told them. I've seen posts where people talk about how 4chan used to be all about raids and activism until the evil trannies and moot ruined it, or how 4chan is supposed to be nothing but 100% shitpost garbage with no moderation so they try their hardest to shit up every board and then complain when they get banned because it's "4chan culture".
>>482785 Oldfag isn't about years it's a state of mind
newfag... started around 2013 when I was a teenager... I have vague memories of /fit/. started browsing and poasting more seriously in 2017
>>482472 im from totse
>>482755 Yeah the whining and nostalgiafagging gets old. But using 4chan from 2009-2015, it kinda felt like being part of a fraternity. Everyone spoke a certain way and knew all the memes and respected OC creators. Also everyone watched le anime, even people who were on more "normie" topic boards. There were a lot of exoduses during that time, but I think what really killed it was the internet corporations going hard on censorship in 2016, as retribution for electing Trump. Those redditors who came in never learned to blend in because they felt comfortable, since they were "right wing." But they rejected the artistic merits and creativity of the site to post politic shit. And now lots of "anons" are straight up against anime and will criticize you for playing video games and are obsessed with telling everyone how they don't fap to porn or listen to music or watch film etc etc. The heart of imageboard culture is artistic.
>>482472 2011 newfag
2011 newfag. I mostly browsed /lit/ and /mu/ in recent years.
>>482785 if you were there before 2006, you're an oldfag. 2007 and afterward, you're a newfag. simple as.
>>482473 my brother
>>482472 2025 oldfag here. All these newfags need to GTFO.
2010 newfag reporting
(316.07 KB 432x529 IMG_1965.jpeg)

Newfag from the year 3300. Ask me anything.
>>487143 Actually gonna say 05. End of 2005. Idk what that makes me.
>>482695 I don’t. Captchas are shit, bbc spam is shit and loli threads are shit. This place is the exact same, just without all three
>>483171 I'd always wanted to believe it was, bots/dedicated shills aside, just anons who'd completely lost it and could only function through layers of irony. Seeing how civil this place is though just sadly does seal the deal that we really have been invaded by newfags (of the normalfag kind, to boot) on a scale not too far off from 4chan's invasion of this place, I still miss home, but finally realising it really has been drowned in legitimate retards is painful. The worst part is this whole thing would be a perfect opportunity to try to fix up the site, but the management is cancer.

>>482472 newfag from like 2014 or something. >>487148 you're bloody ancient anon, i kneel.
>>482472 I'm a lurkernigger in spirit; I feel no affiliation to any era though I understand the qualms of each. I rarely ever post and prefer to save my banal opinion for myself unless I can provide a nuanced take on the discussion at hand. I liked helping people on /wsr/ and /r/ because there were clear objectives.
4chan user from 2008-2012 is, then came here to 8chan during the pandemic and never left.
>>487147 do u guise still liek muddkippz? :3
>>482697 Sharty has no thread watcher. They don't have the cards. Apparently, what you do there is shitpost then forget about it.
>>482755 I couldnt even repost most of the good stuff(not cp)i saved back in the day because of how domesticated and docile you have all become. Everybody is so mad and angery and just looking for something to keep them that way anymore.
>>487193 Had to look up what you were talking about on my eyePhone. No we don't. But Pokemon Concrete/Electrical Socket just recently came out. Was pretty good.
>>487174 >> you're bloody ancient anon I know D: Don’t make me feel older than I am already
>>487193 I do anon it’s ok
Im an oldfag bro i started posting in 2018
2010 newfag, been here all summer
>>487175 as a newfag, how would you divide up and define the eras?
Started lurking 4cuck /b/ in 2006, so newfag
>>482472 2006 newfag
>>487173 I feel like lack of irony is what made nuchan uncomfortable though. 4chan back in the day felt very Socratic but like everyone was Socrates >picture of horse >”I like this horse” >”anon that is NOT a horse” >silly discussion ensues But I noticed a shift around 2016 where people began taking statements purely at face value, and actually even getting mad. By current year it was so bad people would reply to obviously lulzy metaphors with Reddit style debate discourse ie >strawman >moving goal posts or by calling you a chud/tranny/shill/jew depending on where you were.
All cuckchanners are newfags here
