How did you get to Jow Forums? Why are you still here?
How did you get to Jow Forums? Why are you still here?

Somebody in an IRC mentioned it to me around 13 years ago
As for why I’m still here, it’s because every other imageboard suffers from draconian moderation and idiotic userbases
Lincoln Green
from 2ch. still browsing 2ch/5ch too.
Evan Thomas
I don't even remember
Just to suffer.

Back in 2004 when i was 14, i was browsing around for hentai (this is a month after my family finally got a computer) found a website with sexy flash games with a small sidebar for user to chat. Someone mentioned 4 chan and i checked it out. Been stuck ever since.

Not entirely sure how I ended up here but sometime during early winter of 2005 I made my first post on /b/, after lurking for a while. During that time of my life, Jow Forums was the only constant element. Not much has changed, I guess, only now anons have a fairly solid understanding of the dopamine treadmill we are all running on.
Hunter Lee
I was here for the guro originally. I want to leave but I can't.

Flogging the log to eternally loading 2D loli on dial-up was the highlight of my teen years, desu. Minimising windows on a hair trigger like a paranoid humming bird, good times.

I used to listen to the Howard Stern show a lot. And Jow Forums is basically the Howard Stern show, except far more unhinged and I get to star in it and crack jokes.
I'm still here so I have 10 minutes to kill while my breakfast heats up.
Dylan Bell
Don't remember how I got here, but I keep coming back to relax and talk shit when I can't irl, so there's that
Caleb Bailey
Fake leaks and I still come here because I like anonymity and looseness of the interactions
Hudson Allen

and won't end.

Because I was a failure at school and I browsed my cellphone all day. Facebook became way too boring and seems I've always been a weaboo I started to browse /a/, then /b/ and consequently all boards since browsing Jow Forums all my schoolday was all I did back then.
Now I mostly browse Jow Forums because of the interesting discussions and humor. Soyak memes makes me giggle like a bitch
Anthony Reed
Lol, yeah i was damn paranoid as the family computer was in the living room. Once everyone was asleep it was time to be degenerate, but ANY noise triggered intense fear and window min. Also deleting my tracks was constantly on my mind, wondering oh maaaan i hope erassd everything i swear i did BUT WHAT IF I DIDNT and id just be walking around all day in semi nervous wreck mode. Good times :(
Jace Sanchez
While I was in college so I want to say 2006 or so, a "friend" I made on a forum introduced me and I've stuck around ever since, just a habit more than anything else though I've always liked anonymity.
Jaxson Watson
Came here after getting permabanned from Somethingawful back in late 2005. I'm still here because i can't leave.

was reading reviews for LoZ: Twilight princess on metacritic and there was some kind of meme about it getting an 8.8/10 where someone mentioned /v/ in their review. googled it and found Jow Forums which I thought was a niche gaming website at the time. Later that day I joined a /v/ micspam team fortress 2 server where people were spamming ancient sound bytes which was the funniest shit ever to a 12 year old at the time. Ive visited the website daily ever since. Sometimes I wish I never even found the website because ive literally been here through all through the tail end of middle school, all of highschool, all of undergrad, and now halfway through pharmacy school and its certainly affected my social development
Jace Nguyen
I found this place in 2011. I can't remember how.

>How did you get to Jow Forums?
crazy ex 9/10 with daddy issues, thirst for everyone and its brother's cock and rapey attitude introduced me to it. Good times, but having a nympho 9/10 is not worth the constant cucking and being near a psycopath.
>Why are you still here?
I've been in the user mindset for most of my life, when I came here anons made me feel less alone in the world, gave me hope and I found the courage to be myself instead of normalizing and losing myself.
Years later I'm still here because habits die hard, and because I think of user as a little brother to help, like this place helped me to be what I am and not what people want.
Robert Rogers
I came here in 2013
I'm here because i like to talk with people but i' m awkward af and assburgers irl. I only talk with people on this site and in online games like dota2 and fortnite.
Luis Martin
i found this site unironically because of a post on 9gag about internet culture or something 8 years ago
Lincoln Lee
Came here from 9gag years ago unironically.
James Cook
Oh shit did we see the same post mein brüder?
Isaac Clark
Friend showed me it when i was 14
Logan Cox
in 2009, saw it on a foreign news site while surfing on the internet.
i like it here.
James Lee
By chance.
To laugh at Swedish people.

lmao
Connor Howard
My friend showed me the ED article of Chris-chan when he was relevant. I was so fascinated that people like him exist
Been here ever since.
Ethan Sanders
Found it in 2007 on the old bungie forums
Lincoln Rivera
>How did you get to Jow Forums?
forgot, probably heard it somewhere at some point.
>Why are you still here?
I like the laissez faire approach to moderation and the anonymity keeps the virtue signalling etc. to a minimum.
People on other pages literally started to watermark their fucking memes, it's pathetic.
Eli Gray
>How did you get to Jow Forums?
A uni friend told me.
>Why are you still here?
Because posting is anonymous and easy.
