How long have you all been here? How has your life progressed in that time? Have you taken breaks and returned? How has the board changed?
General oldfag thread I guess
How long have you all been here? How has your life progressed in that time? Have you taken breaks and returned...
Jonathan Thomas
Noah Ross
Arrived in 2014, took a break in 2016 and came back here just a few months ago, and holy shit, this place changed, and for the worse too.
Landon Moore
Hows it changed? I just started lurking again after taking a break for a couple of years. Started in 2009.
Ryan Taylor
>"Hows it changed?"
incels, trannies, normies, redditors, women, faggots, larger influx of Jow Forumstards.
I'd say this place went to shit starting with gamergate in 2014 and started getting worse in 2016 when I took a break.
Kayden Rivera
That's the way it always was (minus redditors)
James Ward
We both know it wasn't always like this, normies started arriving here en masse after that pewdiepie greentext video and also because of channels like wavetitan amongst others.
Same thing with women, they started coming here after gamergate and over the years the female population has certainly increased.
And incels don't belong here in the first place, they are refugees from incels.me and their stupid incel subreddits.
Benjamin Turner
When I first started posting here it was mostly normies. Most threads where about picking up women, but there where enough girls posting too. After the great delete (2010 I think?) is when it started becoming all incelly, but most of them eventually left for wizardchan. Kinda surprised to hear people acting like they're a new thing.
Jayden Watson
Well they kinda are a new thing, the word incel is new and people here before didn't call themselves incels. I would have left for wizchan too but I don't like the "ghost town" feel of that place.
Julian Evans
The only thing that's new is the word
Isaac Lee
Exactly, but I still don't like people that call themselves "incels".
Most of them have so little problems that they complain about not getting stacie's pussy.
Elijah James
Yeah, that's why I eventually left. Funny how there seems to be an entirely new generation of people on here still complaining about the same shit.
Aiden James
I think I shouldn't have come back, this place is like a drug.
I keep telling myself, "one day i'll make it, one day i'll finally be able to leave my home and become a normal person again".
This place keeps filling my head with negative toughts, and the social isolation is killing my mental health, but then again, this is the closest I get to social interaction without anxiety.
Kevin Martinez
You're probably right. I managed to ascend from robotmode by reading the Jow Forums sticky and following through. I was just coming back for the nostalgia.
Austin Barnes
I'm on here for 10 years and started browsing this place when i was literally 9 years old.
Well besides the fact that I've been bullied all my life, lost friends and family members duo to cancer and spend most of my time at home I'm doing just fine.
Had a gf for 2 1/2 years who left me, just to find another qt3.14 one month later, with which I'm together now for almost 6 months. I guess I've been through hell, but managed to go back. Which just turned me into a functioning adult, who is attending university, has a gf and some friends. My whole life could have been better, but just as much as my circumstances have hardened me, this place did too.
Godspeed to all the anons who are struggeling. It'll get better if you just keep moving on
Chase Brooks
I'm glad you ascended robotdom my friend, me on the other hand I don't know if i'll have the guts to change.
Also since it's christmas what are you planning to do? I'm just gonna drink and play some videogames like last christmas.
Tyler Nguyen
Glad to hear your life is going well user, maybe some day I could ascend too.
Juan Richardson
Good luck. 90% of it is just wanting to change.
Probably video games. Planning on loading up a new total war campaign which should keep me busy. Aside from that just trying to maintain a decent sleeping schedule and restart my workout regime because I've been slacking off recently.
Joseph Mitchell
I'm genuinely amazed that you started brousing here at the age of 9 and managed to turn into a functioning adult. Took me fucking ages to un-learn all the dumb crap I picked up here.
Easton Brown
Wavetitan brought me here. Watching you sweaty incels argue about anime and hate women etc is fuckin hilarious it's like going to the zoo
Jaxon Young
>19 year old oldfag says it will get better
this thread man
Hunter Bailey
I hope you are just baiting.
If not then here you go:

well Jow Forums has changed dramatically over the years. In the beginning (08/09) it was self styled as a more sophisticated /b/ and somehow became dominated by feelings and relationship advice (relationshit9k). after getting deleted most robots seemed to flee to /v/ for a time. I'm not really sure when after returning it turned into incel central. I mostly came back in 2013 after NEET threads were banished from everywhere else.
I stopped browsing relatively recently due to the overabundance of Jow Forums shit and because the same old no gf and literal teenager bullshit is fucking boring and the board is just generally really terrible (but don't get the wrong idea, that was always true).

This chart explains why jokes directed at another aren't actually joke. They are just insults that are hidden under the disguise of joke so the one making them faces no repercussions. Whenever I say this all the fucking normals look at me like I'm speaking in some alien dialect.
>that guy is so stupid, might even beat out user
>haha jk bud
No, this is not a joke and nothing of the sorts of friendly banter and jabs normies throw everywhere are jokes. They are free unwarranted insults.
Caleb Cruz
why are you still here then?

Camden Cox
Just learn to banter and stop taking shit personally
