I started browsing Jow Forums in like May of 2017. Through that time I have used Jow Forums a fuck ton, and have had some periods of my life where I spend pretty much all day on Jow Forums. More recently though, more and more I find that my home board has shifted around from Jow Forums, then to /lit/ then finally to Jow Forums.
There's such a profound amount of mind poison and filler on Jow Forums that I honestly have no clue how anyone still comes here. I'm not even a 2016 newfag, I'm a fucking 2017 newfag, and a zoomer on top of that. Yet even I can sort of remember a time where this board was *slightly* better than it is now. All the stupid shit on here used to be hilarious and original to me, but now it just seems monotonous and retarded. It's literally the exact same shit every day.
I remember the tranny issue used to be the biggest problem here, but now it is undoubtedly fembot threads. I see no point in even posting here anymore to be honest. I've seen everything this miserable board has to offer. Thank you for reading my diarypost.
What's your home board? Why here??

Jow Forums for like a year. But only because it's an no subject board
It was better than /b/ last year. Now It's worse than b imhho
originally /v/ and Jow Forums and now Jow Forums & Jow Forums
I left /v/ awhile after gamergate and Jow Forums awhile after the election of trump. post quality always drops after a flood of new arrivals, those events really affected the boards alot.
originally /b/ & /v/, then /mu/ and /sp/, now Jow Forums and not too much else
Jow Forums because it's no-subject and /b/ is just dominated with troll threads and porn dumps, go on int and bant because I'm interested in other cultures
I started on chan sites in 2012 and did reddit for 2 years, deleted my reddit and switched back in the last year because fuck those guys.
>But only because it's an no subject board
I do sometimes fail to understand how a board originally created to force each post to be different than the last in an attempt to encourage OC ended up being a failed experiment that was taken over by virgins and people who find it funny to agitate virgins. Seems like a very specific place to take up refuge. So now this board does have a theme by default. In my opinion if Jow Forums was a blueboard there would be a resurgence of OC and it would be like /b/ in its hey day
Jow Forums
orugnero
started on /b/ like 10 years ago, realized it was trash, then came back to /b/ 5 years ago. Realized it was trash. Began frequenting /mu/ 2 years ago, realized it was trash. Now I have become an anti-social retard and browse Jow Forums.
> Jow Forums
My nigga. I frequent the Friendly Linux Threads. I browse r9k when I'm stressed or depressed.
>I left /v/ awhile after gamergate and Jow Forums awhile after the election of trump
W-what was it like before these events user? I have only heard legends
>post quality always drops after a flood of new arrivals, those events really affected the boards alot.
I think there has been some improvement as we get farther away from 2016. The absolute casuals and redditors have largely gotten tired and left. It's the dedicated shills who are a problem now
>Jow Forums to troll
>Jow Forums because its the only place I can find other linuxfags
>/gif/ for porn
>Jow Forums is home.
>/mu/ and /sp/
These boards are pretty normie-ridden not gonna lie
>Jow Forums or Jow Forums
came to R9K cause feels
All of those shitty repetitive threads are exactly why I come to this board. You're assuming that originality does not stick out like a sore thumb amidst repetition. I don't know how new you are to the internet but no matter where you go you are never going to find a goldmine site. You will have to search through a shit ton of retarded and uninteresting info no matter what.
If I decided to be original (god forbid) I wouldn't pick anywhere but Jow Forums because I know for a fact that my thread would get noticed. Anyone who is an anyone would think the same.
>/b/ is just dominated with troll threads and porn dumps
this board used to be a slightly better alternative to /b/ but now I fear it is going down the shitter day by day. There never used to be fembots on here attentionwhoring as much as there are now. This shit started with Brooke and it has devolved to the point that I actually saw a Black fembot feels thread the other day. How can you have feels when you look like this???
>I think there has been some improvement as we get farther away from 2016. The absolute casuals and redditors have largely gotten tired and left. It's the dedicated shills who are a problem now
Jow Forums is a containment board after /b/ was overan with neo-nazis from stormfront. its always ment to be a shitpool of autists who play civ and use discord.
Been here as far back as 2013, back then it wasn't much better but it was all incel garbage dominating the board
>It's a "women fuck dogs thread"
>It's a wagecuck thread
>WAA WAAA I'm short
like the incel shit now but twice as much
This. I browse a board until the people there make me lose my fucking mind, then I find a new board and the process repeats itself. It took me a while but I finally got tired of the autists on here and the pretentious ass idiots on /lit/.
>May of 2017
>a fuck ton
Cute
>If I decided to be original (god forbid) I wouldn't pick anywhere but Jow Forums because I know for a fact that my thread would get noticed
you say that but a ton of original shit just slips through the cracks because it will seldom be as interesting as racebait or something you can ragefap to

you feeIing ok user??
user there was a period where this board was pretty much all I ever did. It made life so much easier when I was going through some tough times. I just lived a Jow Forums existence in many ways after I discovered this place
I only support r9k becoming blue if it purges the gays from this board
With the mods deleting all /lgbt/ like threads from the board as they delete spam threads
besides that, It would only be a slight improvement honestly
I actually find wagecuck threads to be somewhat interesting unlike the bullshit we have today
user this board is all I ever do, or have done, for years now
Im all good. just come here from time to time to let it out
When did you start coming here and why? Do you enjoy life? This place can suck really badly if you make your life revolve around it. But to be honest when I was doing that (albeit in a much less intense way than you may have) this place sometimes really helped me. It's one of the few places I could talk to people I related to, and I had some good laughs on here early into the morning every night. Life wasn't so bad really.
Slip through the cracks for you people who come here for bait threads. That's the point, nobody but other drifters would ever notice it. High traffic and bland noise content is the best place to find and share. It sifts out skimmers who do not pay attention to details and as you said, the primary spammers don't care, so that leaves you with people similar to you who are posting where they don't belong.
Do you ever have a problem using mannerisms from one board on another board? A lot of people shit on Jow Forums and will tell you to go back to Jow Forums if you say anything slightly provocative.
I feel you man. I've been having some problems myself, and I'm scared as fuck about a few things
/pol is my homeboard. Used to hang with the fa/tg/uys tho. Im here bc those fuckers can be too much. And all the other red boards are filled with porn.
It's because the originality requirement and non-specification of the board attracted both virgin, loser, autists and other board goers. Eventually, autists became the dominant demographic having run off the others and the general volatile atmosphere kept them away. However, autists are now considered a universal target and being a depressed loser and/or outcast is the latest and greatest normie meme.
We got an influx of LGBT spammers from those who were booted from /lgbt/ for being annoying, NSFW, or did not feel at home on a board almost entirely controlled by bi-polar transgenders. So, they felt like outcasts among the LGBT community.
We got an influx of Jow Forumstards because losers and outcasts are often the favored target for right wing political extremists as they can play on Jow Forums's natural misanthrope, disdain for normies, and secret hunger for acceptance.
We got an influx of normies because the world is full of failed normies who believe themselves to be true robots. Regular normies followed the failed normies who made this place just hospitable enough for normies who have that weird impulse to encroach on other's space.
Essentially the inherent inaccessibility of Jow Forums and board mentality made it attractive to all the wrong people combined with board culture not being enforced. Thus, it caused the experiment to fail as robots will always be outnumbered by normies and without a strong deterrent normies will simply see Jow Forums as a board to simply whine on.
I agree that making this a blue board would have the desired effect. It would reduce inter-board traffic as well.
I've been here off and on since 2005-6 or so: /b/ when I was a lil' baby -> Jow Forums 2015 -> /lit/,Jow Forums and Jow Forums.
yeah Jow Forums is actually the worst.
they are elitist who believe that anyone not using linux and ATI cards are the scum of the earth. when I first went on it when I was 16 I thought it was just a meme. 22 years old now, been using linux because of these dickheads on the board for years now and I actually bought into the idea that linux is better.
truth they dont want you to know. its not. its complete shit. half of the time I have to use a windows virtual machine to get shit I need to do done. its annoying how I let myself be influenced by these faggots on Jow Forums into thinking installing a meme was a good idea.
now I find it hard to just use windows because I got so used to just using this shit freeware operating system.
oh and formatting your text. i get called a reddit fag because I space out my text. I still do it because I know it pisses them off.
I forgot to add one final part
We got an influx of women because of the influx of normies, beta orbiters, and hostility towards women by the robots. All someone has to do is be a cute and plain looking girl whose self-proclaimed "quirky" and/or an "oucast" and they will acquire an insane amount of both positive and negative attention. All they need is one or two dedicated posters and they can keep the shilling and attention alive and will have their own version of a defense force.
Im a normie, but i like it here bc its just much more chill. The opportunity to have an actual conversation exists, and the odds of judgemental spergings are relatively low. I think we need humor threads tho. Everyone else has em
What do you all think is the absolute DUMBEST board on Jow Forums? Many would claim Jow Forums or Jow Forums but based on what I've seen here, some of the stupidest motherfuckers on Jow Forums are browsing either or
Started in Jow Forums at about 2015
Then started browsing this shithole more and more because im a robot loser myself and could relate alot
Same. I keep coming here when im down. Which happens to be everyday nowadays lmao
Well though out post. There are a myriad of problems here. Unfortunately I don't think many people here even view Jow Forums as having a culture at all. Really what should happen is that they should make /lgbt/ a red board so that these trannyposters will leave. Fembot threads will probably always exist, but luckily enough we have a rule against camwhoring. If we didn't, this whole thing might be 10x worse
/b/ easily. It is the instant gratification board where no more than a minute of conversation takes place and posts are expected to be no more than a sentence or "muh can't read dat"
A lot of the blue boards start to become elitist as fuck for some reason. It's like they know the red boards are scum of the earth shit so they think they look better by comparison and get a big dick about it. Sucks that they convinced you to do that though
Do you have anymore pics user?
or maybe a name
>purge the gays
But pol, vidya, anime, and cooking are still A-ok on arcanine right? Get fucked.
i was on /b/ from 2010-2012 and then browsed Jow Forums and /fa/ for a couple years. now i hop between /lit/ /tv/ and Jow Forums, Jow Forums a few times a week. probably consider /lit/ my home board.
I almost want to say that the big five (/b/, Jow Forums, /v/, /vg/ and Jow Forums) don't count
I mean there was a literal murder on /b/ last night kek, no shit it's the worst
>Im a normie
bye bye
>Unfortunately I don't think many people here even view Jow Forums as having a culture at all.
On the surface it doesn't and most people don't have the understanding of lurk before posting.
>Really what should happen is that they should make /lgbt/ a red board so that these trannyposters will leave
The entire reason /lgbt/ is blue is to keep them out. Their presence would somehow shit up one of the worst boards to be on. We just drew the short straw when they migrated from /b/ to here because on here, you can actually propagandize effectively.
Jow Forums will follow this exact pattern
They shouldn't even be on here. They have their own containment board ffs
And obviously if the board becomes blue, poltards would get banned instantly
Here's an image that isn't as small than hiroshimoot's dick
Its still small like Hiroshimoot's dick
what the fuck is this image for microants
nevermind, It is
jassboo.ty
It's alright, I know the image you posted quite well. Unfortunately it's disturbingly accurate and really kills my soul.
[s4s] or Jow Forums would be my home board
like to check out /a/ /m/ /x/
maybe /soc/ or /v/ for dumbest?
for worst, but not necessarily dumbest, i'd have to say /lit/ /fa/ /mu/ for being the unholy trinity of pretentious pseudointellectualism, to the extent they're more toxic than the almost tolerably more self-aware cesspool of /trash/
the problem with /b/ is the low effort porn threads and other mindless shit
the weird unique stuff like murders 'totally a work of fiction i mean' keep it kinda interesting if you're willing to sift through the fucking trash and its had a fair few good things come out of it at leas tin the past like that nurse story
>probably consider /lit/ my home board.
I did too. Then I just lost all motivation to read good works for some reason. I think I got daunted because I bout my next 9 books in advance and eventually got tired of them. Then I didn't want to go and get anymore because it felt like a waste. I have been "reading" the Purgatorio for a few months now.
Fuck /lit/ though. The people are condescending as fuck, and most of them are about 1/3 of the intellectual they all claim to be. The level of pointless and deliberately overcomplicated shit on there people pass off as genius is insufferable. The way people type is just plain incoherent and annoying at times too.
>A lot of the blue boards start to become elitist as fuck for some reason. It's like they know the red boards are scum of the earth shit so they think they look better by comparison and get a big dick about it. Sucks that they convinced you to do that though
they are just as toxic as the other. its just a diffrent kind of flavor to it.
its almost like comparing coke and pepsi. they are diffrent from afar. but once you take a closer look; they are actually the same fucking thing.
>r9k is home.
I'm here almost exclusively. But I do occasionally browse certain media boards (namely /a/ and /tv/) and /sp/ sometimes.
I can see it starting to speed up exponentially here as "fembots" are beginning to take away one of the few spaces the autists and virgins on here have to themselves. Mark my word, within 5 years Jow Forums will be unapologetically normie-centric.
And as for why, because there's no topic and I relate to people here the most. I also don't know enough about anime or tv or watch enough sports to consistently browse those boards.
Jesus fucking Christ that girl is stunning
i started off in /a/, then became a Jow Forumstard after /new/ was deleted and brought back as Jow Forums and i got woke to the jewish problem.
Jow Forums is still my home board, im only here because i felt like looking at trap porn.
Came to arcanine in early 17, checked in daily with /garbage/ being my true homeboard, abandoned r9k a month after the reiko thing when pol tried to colonize the board, abandoned /rubbish/ when it was more generals than threads and all the generals there sucked ass.
Current homeboard is /tg/, I visit almost every board at least once a month though
I really should browse [s4s] more often. I've actually met some really cool people there. /soc/ is pretty dumb mainly because there is a high quantity of females using it, and because sexuality is involved it becomes a primal shitflinging festival. /lit/ /fa/ and /mu/ are awful though, you're right. Those faggots take themselves as seriously as a heart attack.
As for /b/, I don't even go there. Never have either. There's nothing worth going there for. I consider it the crippled limb of Jow Forums. It's totally dead, so it really isn't worth even mentioning. NOTHING interesting happens there anymore.
>really?? You like my thighs user??
I guess I started browsing in 2008. It was my brother who introduced me to the site. I guess /x/ and /cgl/ would be my main boards. I occasionally pop into /an/ and /c/ to look around. I like the letter, sex doll, and bar threads here. I occasionally check out miscellaneous threads.
I talked to Reiko once before. That faggot used to sit on the search page on here and put his name in it, spamming refresh until someone mentioned him kek. That was really a bout of bad publicity for Jow Forums but I don't think Jow Forums has any greater presence here than they did before that.
Eh a normie by these low standards. I have a house, a roastie and a kid. But ive also fucked a horse and have an egregious amount of racist porn saved
/tg/ for the various mtg, "that guy", worldbuilding threads.
Also browse /v/ and /vg/ for those very rare threads where they recommend obscure games and BGMs from games I wouldn't ever touch.
I also lurk at /a/ but I increasingly find myself alienated from the discussions as I only like a very few anime/manga (considered cringe nowadays because of taking themselves too seriously) and find it too taxing to follow teh new releases closely.
I tried /mu/ when my friend introduced me to several /mu/core artists but I drifted away as I didn't like listening to "sad" songs anymore.
When I still liked sad songs I wandered in here and lurked. This is still the board that gave me the most (You)'s. The board that seemed to harbor the most "losers" seem to actually like talking to people rather than screaming in the wilderness of Jow Forums with bait.
Testing orginal post coming through text rests.
>But ive also fucked a horse
You know this place has fucked you up when you totally believe someone like this is telling the truth, yet you aren't even interested in gaining the context of something like this. I've seen people claiming stuff like this so many times, I really don't give a shit anymore.
/vp/ for nuzlocke memes and other Pokemon shit. Stopped going on there a while back, now I just lurk /vg/ threads and read the shitposts here
First /b/, then /vp/, then /tg/, then Jow Forums. I still visit /vp/ on occasion, and /tg/ rarer even, but I haven't touched /b/ since the banana shit. /baww/ threads actually were the shit.
The fact that you dont wanna know just means you still have a little humanity left
For those on farms, horses are easier to fuck than humans. At least horses can't tell you to go fuck off.
>Jow Forums
I'm not full autismo on the streets, but I'm not pulling in people left and right either. Aside from the guns I have, I'm half NEET and unmotivated, so when y'all make me laugh or break outta here, it gives me a little spark.
Plus nu/r9k/ isn't nearly as bad as nu/k/.
Jow Forums most resembles the glory days of 2008-2012
it's still total shit, but everything else is worse
Originally b and a, starting from 2007
then a and jp
then jp and r9k
and now mlp for the most part, since all you newfags and normie faggots ruined the whole site with gookmoot and I don't even "use" this site like I used to, just occasionally lurk and then stop for a few days everytime I come across what a circlejerk safe social justice place this site has gotten
The internet and the people on it has gotten so weak and pathetic
/asp/ is the biggest dime drawer on this website. Not including big daddy bitch Kevin Trash
Eh i had a girlfriend at the time and lived in town. I just worked on a farm and wanted to do it

if you assholes would stop replying to them unless they posted timestamped tits it would get better
/a/. This board turned into shit when YOU ALL started letting roasties post here.
How do you fix a face like this?
I found /a/ and /h/ by accident in 2004 when I was in high school but didn't become a regular until a few years later in late 2006, 07-ish. I spent two solid years on /b/ before leaving and moving to /v/ and /co/ mostly, then /co/ went under in 2012 and became /co/mblr so I let and never look back.
I mostly browse /v/, /a/, /u/, /d/, Jow Forums, /tv/ and /lit/ now. I suppose if I had to pick a home board it'd be /v/ since that's the one that pops up in my tabs whenever I open my browser but I get around a lot.
>What's your home board?
Jow Forums, I occasionally go on /a/, /fa/ and /diy/
>Why here??
Laugh at retatds
>browses Jow Forums
>talks about mind poisoning
lol. Yeah, you're not gonna make it. Enjoy your shitty life, incel.
remember when i told you that the reiko thing was bullshit and a meme
you know how you agree with me now, but you're also never going to admit you were wrong in any way, and will repeat your mistakes endlessly, ruining the board in the process
here you go lad
oregon
I wander around boards. I used to be a /v/ fag only. Then I wandered to Jow Forums before Jow Forums was created. Then I only browsed Jow Forums. Now I mostly hang around Jow Forums and Jow Forums and throw some Jow Forums and /vg/ in for certain topics.
>I started browsing Jow Forums in like May of 2017
I started getting into Jow Forums shortly after the inauguration of Donald J. Trump, having heard about it from the whole HWNDU affair. From there I discovered the other boards
>Ctrl+F /his/ Jow Forums
I can't be the only one
I wish this place ip locked anyone out of posting until they've lurked for ten years.
Jow Forums was ok before Trump, just a redpilled Jow Forums
Now mostly Jow Forums and /ck/
This
Might aswell lock everyone(except me) out of this board.
