Not going.

I told Weird Al his career was deader than his parents

>>50708994

wow. any screencaps?

Ah yes trolling Habbo Hotel. One of the first steps to /b/'s destruction

>>50709041
I did have some but that was 2 computers ago

>>50709074
not /b/

>>50709074
habbo was funny, not so much the other stuff

inb4 pool's closed pls

>>50709185
yes it was. Trolling habbo is what sparked the ANON IS LEGION LULZ AIDS shit

I remember looking forward to habbo raids when I was still a 4chan larva on /b/. My life is still pathetic but it will never be as bad as then

>>50709278
no, that would be the gaia/scientology raids.

ah yes i remember the days of 2006 on habbo...

>>50709400
"4chan larva" made me :3 for some reason

>>50709421
Haven't been here long, have you?

>>50709421
No, it was the Habbo raids. The scientology shit was years later

>>50709421

/b/ was shit long before that chanology bullshit, and Gaia roughly coincided with Habbo raids.

It was fun in the beginning but it became stale very quickly.

Then when people suggested "raiding" other types of sites with dress up options for the "lulz" you knew /b/ had enter a territory it would not be coming out of.

>>50709400
this post makes me realize /b/ is like a primordial soup for 4chan users. Eventually we cast off dumb /b/ shit and evolve into /v/irgins, /d/eviants, or whatever

>>50709745

Indeed. Also it happened pretty abruptly for me. I'd been going to /b/ for a few months in late 2007 when I got bored and started checking out the other boards... within a week I was wondering why I ever thought /b/ was good.

>>50709745
qft

>>50709650
That was when /b/ started taking itself seriously. For a board that (was) about stupid funny shit and gore pictures thats a very bad thing

/b/ is the kind of thing were I'm not sure if it just got really shitty, or I got older and my sense of humor changed. Same with south park

>>50710012
Gore and weeaboo shit.

Two things new users are apparently allergic to.

DEAR GOD!

>>50709745
its funny because when I was a /b/tard i mostly hung around hentai and video game threads, and now those are exactly the boards i go to

over 9000 epic wins lulz

>>50710162
Well OC dies completely. /b/ used to be home to fun photoshopping but obviously that requires too much skill for the new /b/ users.

One reason I like /v/ a lot is because photoshopping is a common practise.

Somewhat related to this, apparently, someone, somewhere, has about 10,000,000 4chan threads dating back to 2005 archived, but unfortunately can't get them hosted.

If he ever does get them online, it would be interesting to browse though, see how all the boards have changed over time.

>>50710422
Yeah /v/ reminds me a lot of /b/ back when it was good, only mostly video game related

>>50709745
More like the Spawning Pool for new members of the 4chan hive.

>>50710162

I think it's a combination of the two. I look back on stuff I liked on /b/ as an underageb& and some of it I still like now, and others I find totally unfunny. Regardless, the drop in quality, in my opinion, is evident, since it hasn't produced anything that's interested me since 2007.

I have a harddrive full of old pics I collected during my /b/ phase. I should probably poke through it sometime

>>50710423

If you're interested, here's a thread from /b/ someone saved from back in 05.

Some of you might remember it, it's Itoko Otoko.

>>50710422
No, I stick to SomethingAwful for photoshopping. It moves slower giving more people time to work on their shit.

I like /v/ because it's a bit quicker and you can go through more topics/ideas faster.
