I've seen too much. I can never go back

This image is too painful. I want to go back.

Be thankful you never got to experience the golden age of the internet. The one you love and are used to is shit and can't get much worse.

You can't go back. It's just a whisper in time, user.

this sadly.
Jow Forums was always more tame than pre 9/11 internet but it felt like the last stand for me.

Quit complaining, memes change. Leave this place if you lament change. We've come so far and done so much, growing with this place. You dishonor our times together over these years by wanting the past?

Be the future you cucks. Make the memes that will carry us forward. The spirit of Jow Forums never died over the years, it grew and evolved but it was always there. It's in us. No change in a site will change who we are and what we've done here

Once upon a time, downloading any random video clip carried a risk.

You could be downloading a renamed vicky clip. Back then, it was little more than an inconvenience. No one cared, fewer said anything. At worst, you'd declare that you'd wasted your time or bandwidth.

Now, in the futuristic, dystopian year of current year, such things would get you jailtime.

>yfw you imagine all that old shit you have squirreled away on your ancient quantum fireball 4 gig harddrive.

The people who were there are the most jaded generation. Nothing stirs the emotions of an ur-shitposter.

That sidebar gave me nostalgia. Those were the good days

>Make the memes that will carry us forward.
Fuck memes. Memes weren't even a thing before normies took over this place.

Are you some sort of asshole? Habbo hotel was a notable meme. Participating in a group troll WAS the meme. Your definition is too narrow

Those were lulz not memes. Memes are for facebook and reddit.

>No change in a site will change who we are
it will, ive seen it 100 times over the years.
today ive never seen so many posts deleted in one, the catalog will slow to a crawl in a month

How can any of you shmucks be upset about the past when we've made things like bizonacci happen.

Our own memes, well done. Known mostly just to us. Pure, well done entertainment released frequently and entirely anonymously and you want the early days?

Nostalgia is powerful, don't let it blind you

At least we have our memes, and our memes are eternal.

Come on guy, it's the same thing. Lulz is another word for meme

Need an extension that makes Jow Forums boards display on 4channel. Make this fork irrelevant.

listen to this user
for the first time on earth we have a real time crucible of thought for intelligent people
dumb people hate it cos it scares them
all of the best ideas for the next 100 years will start as someone calling OP a fag on this imageboard
unironically

>all of the best ideas for the next 100 years will start as someone calling OP a fag on this imageboard
that was Jow Forums, this is 4channel.
new site, new rules

people will cling on to the old ways for a while but will eventually be jaded and move on

We'll keep doing what we've done for years, you can go

Is moot autistic?

It's hard when ever new meme is another fucking wojak variation.

We've reached creative bankruptcy.

Recycled and repurposed memes are the best memes.

nobody knows whats going to happen from here but at least take a warning from history, communities do change when site splits like this happen.
maybe youre right and even more heavily moderated advertiser safe 4channel will thrive or it could turn into reddit.
the patriot act eventually killed places like totse and zoklet was a shit imitation of it, 1000s of irc communities went the same way when they moved onto more controlled sites, its not just a restriction on shitposting its a restriction on creativity.

time will tell, i hope for the best

You'll find your creativity again, but we still have it

But seriously, this was just a nostalgic retelling of things that were.

The future has, and always will be, the final frontier. I put my nostalgia on Jow Forums because this is as far as the bleeding edge of shitposting gets. When you post in ten years, maybe you'll post screenshots of the day Hiroshimoot impotently sundered the boards. Maybe you'll get a reply from someone being nostalgic about Mootxico. Maybe it'll be nightmare city, or sageman. Maybe it'll be screenshots of my screenshots. The details of the future are something we can't accurately predict.

But at the end of the thread, someone will post one of the many outright ancient 'remember, you're here forever,' and 10 years from now, it'll still be true. Some of us will not live to see that day, but we'll be replaced by others.

Memes and shitposts truly are forever. As long as there exists even a single person to repost them, they, and the people who made them, will never actually be forgotten, and if you're not forgotten, you have a legacy. With a legacy, you're never truly dead.

you say that shit while posting this fucking dumbass frog that every fucking normalfag posts
how about you come up with something unique
doesn't need to be OC, just post something else instead of copy pasting this NIGGER fad

Jow Forums nostalgia thread? Jow Forums nostalgia thread.

No man I get what he's saying. Memes are memes low effort shitposts that anyone can do

Now lulz that those took planning and coordination between anons. Be it habbo raids loic cannon ddos attacks or voting moot first place for the moon camp thing or the Time magazine thing. We used to do things and organize massive trolls. But now it's just memes and edgy shitposts culture.

>Quantum fireball
holy shit I still have an 18GB one.

probably fapping to thinking of you playing with crayons

>The one you love and are used to is shit and can't get much worse.
It can. Imagine the government requiring every poster to provide his id to the site.
Looking at China they are going to be the first, UK will probably follow.
The next step is for everyone to have a government trojan that allows the state to see everything you do and have. I also expect that to happen in China and UK.

Anonymity is going to be a crime in that circumstances, obviously.

god old fags are fucking degenerates.

Bring in more newfags with wicked sense of humours XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Yeah, the term meme began popping up way more after 2008. I don't remember hearing that word at all before 2007 in fact.
