Why is cancer all the way at the 2010 line?

I found /jp/ on SA back in 2004. I remember back before we had all these greentexting /b/uugums from /a/v/b/. I never clicked on another board in my life (most proud achievement in my life) but I know they're all filled with nothing but reaction images and memes. I clicked on 2ch once and they didn't have any reaction images. Why do only baka gaijin use reaction images and memes? I wish I was Nippon.

2003-2004 was Type-moon memes brah. Though Rozen Maiden also started late 2004. /b/ had like 3 Suigintou sickies in a row January 2005.

Everything afterwards is a blur though until the great 2hu War of 2007. And here we are now at 2012.

This chart is completely unfair! People who came in 2011 gets to be a futurefag? I want to be from the future as well.

Oldfag.

>I found /jp/ on SA back in 2004
Hurr.

2003. No idea why you have our dearest boatlights-chan there and not teh rei or cracky.
desuspamshitstorm was later.

It's all cockmonglers from start to finish, anyway.

>>8112577
Indeed. 2006 or 2007. Somewhere around the original airing of Haruhi.

>>8112580
You mean greenman?

2004 from ADTRW

>>8112582
Pretty sure it was 06. Other friends of mine came to the site at that time and started watching Rozen Maiden as a result.

Where's Osaka?

>>8112590
Japan, Kansai region.

>>8112591
I was afraid you'd say that, so I started weeping ahead of time.

Why isnt 2011 on there?

Thar be no 2011

Does that mean I win since I starting /jp/ing a month ago?

>>8112591

Right next to Turkeyhandle Porkslope.

I'm pretty new to the /a/ scene, but I've been around /tg/ and /g/ for some time.

Can anybody explain what implications Haruhi had on the /a/ community? Was it the madoka of 2006? What was it like during the 4 weeks of time loop reruns (ep15 - 19)?

Early 2006.

August 23rd, nevar 4get

>>8112598
They posted that "I want to taste a dick!" doujin endlessly.

Where am I in that timeline if I knew about 4chan when it was created but didn't give a shit until 3 years later?

I was more interested in the Gen[M]ay forums back then. Any of you remember the video of the guys driving around book stores shouting Snape kills Dumbledore? That came from Gen[M]ay, and I was in the back seat of the car.

I'm from '06 and I don't consider myself an oldfag at all. I remember everyone in /a/ back then complaining about how everyone who came during SaiGar was cancer. Desu spam also started around that time I believe, not before then.

I was here before captcha

>>8112598
Haruhi was the first huge shitstorm divisive anime. It was extremely hated, and also had a big following.

Lucky Star followed shortly after.

>>8112606
>SaiGar
That was 2006? I remember SaiMoe being big on /a/ in 2006, but didn't that happen in 2007?

>>8112588
It was early 2006 that it really took off. Just had a look at some of my old /b/ archives to see when the DESU spam started. But I do remember desu desu being used earlier than that but just not as frequently.

November 2004. I don't even remember how I found this cesspit. Something about harbls and washing machines and soaking.

>>8112610
haruhi>code geass>lucky star>gurren lagann

>>8112610

What happened when the time loop episodes were airing?

I just marathoned Haruhi (being new to the anime), and I felt bad watching what were essentially re-runs.

I felt like I was being trolled or something.

>>8112611
The first one was in '06 I believe, but there were also '07 and '08 tournaments.

>>8112615

>code geass

I think it's because dirty gaijins on /a/ couldn't handle being racially discriminated in anime of all things.

SA thread mentioned /jp/ some time around C74. 2008?

>>8112615
You used the "greater than" sign there friend, I think you meant to use the "less than" sign.

2004 oldfag.
No one gives a shit.

First time in /a/ was 2005
Picked up my trip in 2006

Didn't Desu win Saimoe in 2006? Anyways, fun times.

Desu should be in the blue section.

>>8112620

Yes, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the 2ch raid.

I forgot when I started coming here. It was when /r9k/ and /fa/ were just created. 2007?

I did browse other imageboards before this one, though. Usually ones with lots of loli.

Here, I fixed it.

>cancer
>implying the usage of this term itself is not cancerous

I'm quoting your fucking cock.

I don't give a fuck if you think I'm some fresh off the boat immigrant to /jp/. I've been here long enough to not give a fuck. I spammed desu more times than I can remember on /b/ and /a/.

I just don't give a fuck.

>>8112625
He's denoting progression of divisive series, not quality or how much he likes it.

I don't think anyone actually read the then-niche-and-animeless Rozen Maiden manga back in 2003.

Late 2007 because Pedobear.

I wish I didn't take the internet so seriously

>>8112639

>I've been here long enough to not give a fuck.

Holy shit, I'm going to use this phrase everytime I greentext or do something questionable on this board.

2005, I first started lurking.

And I didn't post until late 2006 when I turned 18 because I actually respected the idea of "lurk moar" and not being an underage faggot.

>>8112639
What do you spam now (if anything)?

>>8112647
But that would denote that you actually give a fuck. Is that OK with you?

>>8112618
Pretty sure there was only one SaiGar that actually finished, and that was in 07.

We tried to have a second in 08, but it quickly descended into a proxy-voting shitstorm and the owner did the same thing as Eksy and dropped the whole thing with a "fuck you guys" message.

>>8112639
>I spammed desu more times than I can remember on /b/ and /a/.

So you admit you're the original cancer. Nobody but you underage autistic fags new to imageboards thought the spam was funny.

It feels weird seeing people who came here during the habbo raids called oldfags. That's when the lejuun faggotry started and made everything going downhill.

Started actively browsing in 2007

Started posting in 2010

>>8112654

I don't give a fuck.

>>8112657

Hey I think the DESU was pretty hilarious.

Can you imagine /jp/ without Flanfly? Or the daily dose of chubby.jpg? It just isn't the same.

The first time I came to 4chan was late 2005 and the first thread I saw was about naruto cosplay. I left and didn't come back for a while.

>>8112662
That better be sarcasm or I'm going to have to tell you to get out of /jp/.

McRoll in 2009

>>8112659
I feel kind of ashamed if I'm considered an oldfag by modern standards, because even if I have been here for five years I know I originally just came here for the lol so randum memes, which looking back on are mostly horrible (especially desu).

>>8112616
Endless Eight aired in 2009 (it was a part of the bonus episodes added for the two-cour rerun), so you can check it yourself in the archive.

What year was Happy Negro? I kind of miss it.

>>8112659 habbo raids... That's when the lejuun faggotry started and made everything going downhill.
Agree completely. Around mid 2005 after the huge influx of newfags due to the habbo raids /b/ really turned into shit. Early 2006 /b/ died completely for me, far too much CP was getting posted.

/a/ on the other hand in 2006 really came into its own, creating its own memes with discussion and not just a place to dumb OS-tan pics.

Just around 6 years wasted on this bullshit website. Started coming here originally for /d/ and /h/, eventually ventured into /b/, /a/, and /v/. Didn't last more than a year in /b/ before I got tired of it.

I don't particularly want to be here for a seventh year. I'm already done with this place.

>>8112657
I don't think anyone thought it's funny.

It did, however, piss people off, which is all that matters to some posters.
>>8112662
Can you imagine /jp/ without a hourly dose of Japanese Bird? Oh wait.

>>8112657
I can remember when I started really hating memes. It was around the Hobbo raids and I saw seeing someone spam desu in WoW. I had always kept 4chan seperate from everything else, so it was very annoying to see that being spammed, and knowing where that guy was from and exactly what he was like.

I have disliked memes and people who use them ever since. I haven't posted a reaction image since I left /a/ for /jp/ when it was created, and I have never greentexted like /a/b/v/ once. This usually leads to my posts being overlooked because they're too long and people are paranoid about being "trolled" by kopipe.

This brings me to another thing that annoys me. What's everyone's fascination with trolling? What they're doing isn't even trolling.

>>8112673
I blame those Fate/Stay Night comics Velox did.

2009 for me. Prior to that I was at /v/ and when it started going downhill I hopped to /a/ to find that it was even worse, so I settled here.

Though I originally came from Animesuki, I must have started browsing there during 2003 or so. I'm surprised it still exists to be honest, back then it had a lot more traffic and fansubbers were more strict on not fansubbing licensed titles. Nowadays everything gets subbed and nyaa.eu tracker is much superior for fansubs.

>>8112677
>>What they're doing isn't even trolling.

That's the whole point. They just say it's trolling so they can troll others. Similar to the whole "shitposting" meme.

/jp/ just operates that way.

Baaaaarely an Old Fag. Late '06 here.
Of course, I still consider myself a Newfag, and always will. All those "lurk more"s were painful, and ego-shattering.

>>8112677
you posted this story before. we get it, okay? you're an oldfag and you don't like memes. guess what? there is plenty of older users who like them.

>mfw kids don't realize greentext didn't rape their mother and it's a way to talk in second/third person.

>>8112687
Ex-troll. I was really bad when I was Anon. I mean I even cursed at people. I don't even like thinking about it now.

Actually one of the main reasons I started using a tripcode was so I'd troll less. IMO it worked and I'm glad I did it.

alt.kibo or fuck off.

'07 summer

I was watching Lucky Star and the subbers brought it up. They were [a.f.k.] if I recall.

>>8112688
>I still consider myself a newfag
As you should.

>>8112698
Yeah, [a.f.k.] did LS and Haruhi.
And [Eclipse]. [Eclipse]. That's all.

What the fuck were we thinking?

I am not a fag, but I started browsing late 2006. Thinking about it now, /jp/ wasn't very good back then either!

Funfact: Every year spent on 4chan shrinks your penis by one inch.

So for most of you, 3 or 4 years will give you a vagina.

beginning of 2007

I started going to /b/ in 2006 when a friend told me I could find jailbait there. I laughed at all the memes until 2007 when I realized they weren't actually that funny and stopped going to /b/ because it was full of faggots.

2004, came for the porn.
I don't remember actively posting until 2005 though.

2005 here.

Why must you remind me how long I've been browsing this place?

>>8112706

A comprehensive guide.

>>8112564
These imitation trollfaces are wonderful.

>>8112722
Need a /jp/ version from 2008 to 2011.

2011 would have h0mu I guess.

I came here in 2006, but didn't start browsing regularly until 2007.

>>8112732
Don't you mean Saten?

Wait, don't you mean genericlongblackhairedslut?

2003. I hate desu spam, I hate habbo raids, I hate people coming over from gaia/animesuki/ann and then posting about how they suck so they can get 4chan cred, I hate EFG and that stupid guy fawkes mask, I hate people using the terms oldfags and newfags, I hate endless summer, I hate LEIGUN, I hate rules 1&2, I hate milhouse, I hate not being able to say epic and legendary anymore, and I hate pretty much anything related to /b/ from 2005 on. It was about that time I hid in /a/ and discovered Nanoha and pretty much started seriously watching anime (as in downloading it and not just watching whatever on TV.) Also /v/.

/v/ became pretty bad over time, and I can't stand /a/'s taste nowadays.

/jp/ is pretty much my last refuge. As in literally the only site I regularly visit online anymore. I'll probably just quit the internet and go back to playing video games when it falls to ruin.

>>8112677
I want to say I hate memes too, but the truth is I hate new memes that are bad. Too many of them are forced stupid shit people spam over and over instead of funny things and in-jokes people hooked on to. Also retarded over-detailed faces out of context of the comics they were posted in are not memes, nor are they funny to toss into other comics.

Though I can't talk since I like going >/jp/ and those autism macros because they so accurately capture the way some people on /jp/ act. Which is my other problem with memes- in jokes are funny only in the context they were created. They are not funny to randomly shout in public or create websites about. What I hate is this generation that thinks internet is real life and serious business and not just a source of entertainment completely detached from any real relevance.

I don't honestly know why I'm here anymore. I wish moot really HAD banned my entire isp that one time.

You're part of the problem, why are you on /jp/ if you're not going to contribute to danbooru imagedumps or VN discussion?

Go to VNDB, pick out a VN that you might find interesting, acquire, read, and tell us about it. Nobody is going to give a fuck if it's babby's first VN, it's much more preferable to discuss 5 year old VN than talking about autism.

>>8112755
2008 was overfilled with 2hu-threads.

>>8112752
I'm just guessing because I have no sense of when all this actually happened but:

07 - Japanese Bird
08 - Bawwson
09 - Katawa Shoujo
10 - Are you frustrated?
11 - madoka a shit

>>8112760
Touhou hasn't been called 2hu since very recently.

I heard of 4chan at 2009. Visited the site sometimes in 2010. A regular user this year.

i was around sometime between 100k and 200k get on /b/. that's all i can really mark myself as.

I don't really know, when I first started lurking 4chan.
At first I came for the porn. Eventually started lurking /b/.
The earliest image I found on this computer is from 2007, but I lurked a long while before starting my 4chan folder.

>>8112749
Just out of curiosity, why do you hate rules 1 and 2? I mean obviously they're pretty moot nowadays, but they had a purpose back then, no?

>>8112769

Because he like to use the words EPIC and LEGENDARY. He probably liked to talk to his friends about how /b/ was involved in some EPIC shit.

I was here early enough to see post #1 in /b/.

>>8112765
That's the worst list I've seen in quite a while. Japanese cooking bird wasn't posted on /a/ before /jp/ existed and it wasn't even posted regularly when /jp/ was first made.

2hu may not have been a coined term back then, but it was called lots of other stuff like toehoe/twohu and similar names mocking it.

The only problem /jp/ has is too many kids taking out their angst here because they get bullied at school or whatever. /jp/ wasn't made so you could complain about everything you dislike.

>>8112779
and yet that's what happens, I still vote for /jp/'s deletion, maybe all the spammers and shit will just go back to their other epic activities.

>>8112776
It would have been fun if there had been some screencaps/archives from that far back. Though I doubt anyone knew it'd get so big back then.

>>8112767
I remember the single-digit million GETs in /b/. Good times. I wish I was as old as you though!

>>8112783

Do you guys notice how nobody really talks about touhou anymore? Just look at the fucking catalogue:

- 5 cirno images, none of them actually talk about cirno
- a dozen threads pertaining to homu
- >greentext
- frodo5.jpg
- random shit

If /jp/ gets deleted we'll be talking about Touhou non-stop in /a/. It'll rekindle our interest in the rich, diverse lore Gensokyo has to offer.

Man I miss talking about Touhou. Too bad everything has been done to death already.

>>8112783
/jp/ hasn't had actual spammers in a while. All the people complaining are the nearest thing to spammers on the board. An off-topic thread will disappear but all the kids angst and cries for attention have persisted for the last year.

>>8112769
>they had a purpose back then, no?
Yeah, to aid in that stupid raiding spree LOL SAY WE'RE FROM EBAUMS GUISE

4chan is not some secret club.

>>8112794
Same way no one talks about old VNs on here. Try to discuss something that's been discussed by other people and you're run off. While I don't support newfags and their inherently immature habits, stagnation is worse.

>>8112801

>Same way no one talks about old VNs on here.

What about the non-stop frodo question threads that gets spammed here, all of which are clearly answered in F/S N?

You mean you'll have rich discussion on pooshlmer? They already image dump once in a while on /a/c/b/c/tg/ and other boards. The non-existent touhou discussion isn't going to magically appear on /a/. /jp/ was created because people were image dumping in 10+ threads doing touhou hijacks. There is no easy way for them to do it with captcha so they won't.

>>8112796
>>/jp/ hasn't had actual spammers in a while.

What. Squiddy was boning /jp/ daily with JAPANESE servers, simulations, that ugly smiling dog, and PAY THE DENBS Greece until somewhat recently.

Now he posts LotR and Frodo threads. Surely you've seen those. Although he doesn't spam those just yet. We only get a few threads a day or so.

Discovered 4chan 2006-2007 ish. Stayed for /a/, /b/, and porn. I remembered back when /jp/ was created, I thought to myself, "haha, what fags. what the fuck is the purpose of the damn board anyway?" The irony. Nowadays /jp/ is the only place I go to on the net.

Oh, fuck you OP for reminding me how much time I've lost in this cesspool.

>>8112801
>While I don't support newfags and their inherently immature habits, stagnation is worse.
I wish /jp/ was a place that created original content, but all it does is run the OC thread guys into their ghetto and hate anything that falls outside touhou and shitposting. I know this isn't /i/ or /ic/ but it'd be nice to see some support. Maybe some community made flashes or games.

2005

i remember originally coming here because the 'clock crew' hated this place so much.

I think it was 2004, when there was a raid against Ebaums world from 4chan, Something Awful and YTMND.

>>8112806

I remember just LAST MONTH where we had Alice megathreads that lasted days. What happened to /jp/?

>>8112807
You forgot homu and raildex spam, you shitposter.

>>8112807
Since when did a couple threads qualify as spam? Are you a grandma who just discovered the internet? 3 threads you don't like doesn't qualify as spam. Stop ruining these terms which have meaning.

The board /a/ has actual spam. There is autistic child spamming accelerator threads every 15 seconds once he comes around. Before he was bombing threads he didn't like. That's spam, grandma.

>>8112807

>PAY THE DENBS

That shit's actually funny though

A. Site is popular; joining members balance leaving members

->3. Servers cannot be maintained but site is made invite-only for anyone not in the existing userbase
>-> Site lives pretty much forever or until the owner abandons it

>>8112807
He doesn't mean those threads, he means things like other boards invading /jp/ and Chie spam.

First lurked 2005, maybe even late 2004. First post? Probably end of 2005, I have a hard time remembering anymore, its been so long and I've changed so much since then that I don't even regard myself as being the same person when such large intervals of time are considered. At first I used to go on /s/ for 3DPD and then /b/ for entertainment (with visits to /h/, /e/, /c/, others). I was watching animu at that time as well, but I can't recall going to /a/ too much. After a while, /b/ become quite fast and high-traffic (not nearly as fast as it is today, maybe about as fast as /a/? Not that I've been on /a/ in a while now) and I decided to visit /a/, whose pacing was maybe slightly faster than /jp/ (threads could last 1/4-1/2 a day to a day at best, but hitting the bump limit wasn't that unusual). I stopped visiting most other boards frequently and mostly stayed with /a/. In the meantime, I did get involved in fansubbing and that led me to read some of the very earlier VN translations and eventually got myself involved with some projects which I'm not going to mention here as it'd just be attention-whoring. After more time than I can remember, mods were cracking down on touhou hijacks, loli manga, various off-topic discussion, VN threads and whatnot on /a/ and /a/ kept having metathreads about starting a /a/+/b/ kind of board as /b/ by that time was no longer the /b/ that used to be ("anime"-themed originally), mostly because of the heavy "censorship" that went on in /a/ (non-anime/manga-related threads, which were quite seemingly /a/-related, but not quite).

>>8112819
Is he still doing that? I haven't seen him around recently.

>>8112824
> continued
Not that much time after that (maybe days, or maybe a week or two, I can't recall) moot made /jp/. /jp/ in its early days was quite adventurous and was quite directionless (acording to moot's opinion at least). /jp/ did develop quite a varied culture and we had the first full archive, as well as a posting etiquette that was quite fervently defended. In the passing years, it seems spammers got more and more prevalent (especially anime screencap ones) and defying our janitor more and more. /jp/ isn't as much fun as it was originally for me, but it's still irreplaceable, so I keep on visiting it, along with one world4ch textboard that we all know about. Obviously I skipped many developements over the years, but they're in our memories and enumerating them will require having to split this post into more than 2 parts, which I don't feel like doing now.

Let's hope /jp/ continues to live a long and prosperous life!

2005.

I stayed in /a/ and seldom visit /jp/, though. Just came to ask about Angel Core here >>8112820

>>8112798
You sound incredibly bitter. 4chan was going to become shit either way, and nothing anyone could do was going to stop it.

Around 2006 probably, my friend linked me here.
Was mostly into raids, though that died out on /b/. Went to 420 for a bit until their /i/ got taken down, then Scientology hit and I hung up my laz0r. I lurked /m/ and /v/, though /v/ turned to shit and /m/ was pretty stale content wise. Then I started lurking /a/ around 08 and when /jp/ was created I came here.

>>8112824
>>3 threads you don't like doesn't qualify as spam. Stop ruining these terms which have meaning.

You're actually wrong, because I never said I disliked them. Besides, you seem to be confusing spamming and flooding. So there's some irony on your second sentence there.

>>8112821
A lot of the stuff Squiddy posts is funny due to the absurdity. Even the pigs spam was cute for a time.

A bit before 4chan's 4th birthday, so 2007?

>>8112858
Hey EFG, what's going on?

Right on the cusp of oldfag vs. newfag I suppose. I've always considered myself too new though. I think my earliest 4chan memory is Ecstasy aka Darks, but I was probably here before that.

It doesn't matter, but for what it's worth 2005.

You know, when I first found 4chan I didn't dare to post for a year because it was so crazy and wicked. It took me one whole year to gather up the courage and post and discuss anything.

Ultimate beta.

July. Don't even.

>>8112946
I used to get so nervous. I would check the post form 10 times to make sure everything was right. The whole act would take several minutes.

I wish everyone would just go away.

When that 4chan gold membership thing

>>8112946
I did too!

But at that time, every thread was full of LURK MORE injonctions.

>>8112946
That's actually a good thing, I wish people would do this nowadays.

>>8112946
Took me almost two years to actually post. So Omega.

There was a big thing going on about a site called imagefap, and we had image macros telling you to look up "lolita". It was around 9th grade, so I want to say 05-06 range.
I found it because i was looking for porn on dogpile.com, and one of the images was a demotivational with a naked 2D girl, and it had "4chan" in bold text on it.

Why is this thread here and still alive....

>>8112946
I did that too, I don't think I posted more than 3 times the whole time I spent on /b/.

What if I'm just rather new to imageboards but I've been browsing the internet since around 2001?

Late 2003, some fag called CyberAkuma used to actually link the images from 4chan onto gamefaqs and that's how I found it. At first I just lurked and didn't really start posting on /b/ until late 2004.

>>8113084
9600 baud or BUST, motherfucker.

Even if you have discovered the internet yesterday, you can be smarter than 90% of 4chan "oldfags".

Also, you can just read all memes on some 4chan wiki and lie that you saw the very first thread on 4chan, because nobody give a fuck what an oldfag you are.

People used to act stupid back then,
Now they are just plain stupid.
People used to act like a NEET and even come out with shit like TRUE NEET to make fun it.
Now they really think it is cool to be a NEET and wear their NEET proudly.
