About 10 years ago I met a bunch of weird guys in a game, they told me about Jow Forums and not to go there. I think they were either being protective or maybe they didn't want a girl on Jow Forums. Anyway, they became my friend and I learned about weird Jow Forums things through them.
I've stayed away from this "cesspool" for 10 years but decided to join recently, got banned for something stupid (I think it was a prank, makes no sense), now I'm back.
I looked up Moot and he looks like a 14 year old but worse than that he works for Google! I'm shocked. Why would he do that!? What sort of place is Jow Forums really?

>I've stayed away from this "cesspool" for 10 years but decided to join recently, PROTIP: Jow Forums is not a quality board. It was invented specifically to leech impurities from Jow Forums, and though the experiment was a failure it continued onward for the sake of knowledge alone.
>got banned for something stupid (I think it was a prank, makes no sense), now I'm back. moot uses/used a lot of autobans because he cannot possibly find reliable mods from among his fan base. There was a website that hosted his (now-returned) deleted boards, he repeatedly voiced loving that site but has also had it an autoban word for years after the site itself stopped operating. moot is really onions like that.
>I looked up Moot and he looks like a 14 year old but worse than that he works for Google! I'm shocked. Why would he do that!? What sort of place is Jow Forums really? THAT sort of place. moot has taken incredibly large amounts of money to build pointless website(s) that did nothing and attracted nobody, I mean to say that he has taken far larger amounts than other startups that went on to become hundred billion dollar operations by making games for Faceberg.

Right now a shithole, back in the day it was the frontier of the internet culture, birthplace of every meme worth it and where shit happened.
I recommend to stay away from the bigger boards e.g. /b/, Jow Forums, /v/, etc. and pick one of the smaller ones that Cater to your hobbies.
For example places like /p/ or /toy/ gets a post every blue moon but all of them helpful and cool. Back in the day /co/ used to be the bigger yet decent board but now is all Jow Forums vs /Tumblr/ shit
Christopher Howard
>Right now a shithole Rose-colored beergoggles alert, Jow Forums was always shit and it was never famous outside of the occasional moments of pearl-clutching from the mainstream world at /b/ or Jow Forums. One or both of these boards hurt somebody's butt, that somebody announces their hurt to the world, /b/ and Jow Forums chuckle at each other and get drunk happily ever after.

I suppose. I'm not impressed by the hivemind view of women here. It's cultish. leech impurities from Jow Forums, and though the experiment was a failure
Leach impurities?
moot uses/used a lot of autobans because he cannot possibly find reliable mods from among his fan base.
I think he's gone?

There has to be a reason.

Google Plus serves one single purpose, it's the copycat nemesis of LinkedIn.
I'm not convinced Jow Forums is a positive influence on the world.
Brandon Bell
Jow Forums is overrated in good ways and bad, much like weed.
>muh memes >muh imaginary identity >muh axe to grind >muh lack of trust in own team >muh paranoid hostility toward all that is different just like social justice warriors
Asher Jones
>I'm not convinced Jow Forums is a positive influence on the world.
How can you said that when moot was elected Times must influential person of the year?
>Rose-colored beergoggles alert, Jow Forums was always shit
But it was fun shit, now is mostly identity politics and right wings bullshit.
Caleb Campbell
>Why would he do that!?
Because like the new owner announced shortly after taking over, the website was just haemorrhaging money since no one in their right mind wanted to advertise on the site that supported gamergate and the fappening and other shit like that, it proved too much of a headache for moot who just wanted to have a website where people could hang out and have fun and talk about anime, so he jumped ship and sold the site to 2chan's original owner.
At this point in time this site is deader than dead. It's indistinguishable from r/thedonald and other subreddits. Kek killed it.
>But it was fun shit, now is mostly identity politics and right wings bullshit.
This. All the raids on Habbo Hotel, Tom Green's livestreams, the Christian Chats, the early days of Encyclopedia Dramatica and discovering Chris Chan, etc.
Now it's just a bunch of closet redditors that do nothing but repost the same cartoon frog everyday, and kids on r9k who like to roleplay as autistic NEETs who also spam the cartoon frog.
Jow Forums is just like a wastebin of the internet, really

>/b/ and Jow Forums chuckle at each other and get drunk happily ever after yikes
Eli Turner
Jesus christ, I can't believe nobody told him to lurk moar. Hai reddit.
Levi Thomas
There's nothing to lurk for It's just shitty teenagers being edgy faggots because this is the only place with standards low enough to let them do it AND give them attention for it Telling him to lurk would be like telling him he needs to spend a day in a public restroom to understand why nobody fucking likes them
It takes like five minutes on a real good day to realize public restrooms exist because a lot of people would just shit on the floor otherwise, even though they already do
Jack Hill
not lurking is what created modern r9k culture. Newfags didn't realize that we were being ironic, and actually making fun of autistic NEET retards, and now years later people are repeating the tendies and normie thing unironically. but yeah these days there's no point for newfags to lurk.
Leo White
I'm confused.
I'm female and I don't go to reddit.
Luis Reed
reddit is code for "acting/liking" things I don't.
Back in the day we used to blame ebaumsworld or 9fag.
"lurk moar" is the default answer when someone ask about the site or doesn't understand something.
Jayden James
And no one here is actually female. There are lots of traps, however.
Landon Rodriguez
I am a maggot feeding on this website's corpse. I am displeased.
Isaiah Ramirez
mooties created 4chun before he worked at google dumbs ass.
Jow Forums is a place where people can post about whatever they want anonymously (if you use a tripcode/namefag in here you are pretty much retarded.). However that freedom comes to a price that being that you'll find some content that wouldn't be desirable for you in the first place. Besides that, since moot is gone, the (((mods and janitors))) have taken over have been shitting up the site little by little with time. That's why some people are getting (perma) banned for stupid reason that in the good ol' times were the norm.
Jason Ramirez
Oh thanks for explaining.
They already doxed me on Jow Forums to do a voice clip. Like an idiot, I did.
Jonathan Gonzalez
I didn't think he still ran it. I'm just suspicious about Jow Forums now knowing he works at Google.
Logan Thomas
are you using facebook? what about twitter or instagram? all those sites harvest your information to not end and sell it to the highest bidder. New admin is likely doing the same youtube.com/watch?v=6KFz9WRRNpk
I exclusively browse Jow Forums using a vpn, a exclusive web browser and never put personal info in here.
Connor Thompson
No I don't use those sites.
I know they harvest info. At this site I'm unmasked. I don't care anymore, you have to be an expert to hide your identity today.
Easton Allen
>you have to be an expert to hide your identity today not really, just be careful with what information you put out and use a vpn to cover your tracks and you'll be fine.
Zachary Bell
And use an operating system and CPU architecture without hidden telemetry >enjoy Arch on an ARMv7 lmaooo
