Where did all the Jow Forums posters older than 20 go?

Trannies and the left fighting memers, femanon bait threads, and wat do threads.

26 yr old Floridian here.

And I love Ed, Edd and Eddy. Thats a childhood favorite of mine.

Based. Where in Florida are you from? 954 here

I'm 22 and can't stop coming here. That's lack of friends for you.

I started using this board when I was 17 then stopped at 21. Came back at 24 but just to read stuff when I'm bored, I don't really care about having a girlfriend or friends, I've become desensitized from all human emotions.

34, still here but I spend most of my time on Jow Forums, /ck/ and Jow Forums these days. Jow Forums has long since passed the point where authentic anons have been replaced with ironic shitposters. The result of this, as usual, is that original content has become incredibly rare and 99.999% of threads are regurgitated junk from larpers.

33 here, this place changed after hiroshimoot brought out the Pass....

Not really anonymous anymore..

They slowly leave as the board culture slowly changes. They feel alienated in a place they once thought of as home. I think it's pretty cyclical.

They also slowly realize that complaining on here or posting on here in general is a waste of time.

Im from the land of pedestrian hit-and-runs, the city of Tampa Tramp. Im a part of that 813 street life. Ya hear?

Quads of truth
If only this was original

Unironically, why haven't you kys'd yet? Genuinely curious and not trying to be rude

this.

LGBT screwed this place over YEARS ago

I am 26 which probably makes me lord commander oldfag here

Why don't we fight back, like how /b/ spammed gore to keep the newfags at bay. There's gotta be something that will drive the redditors and discord trannies out

I just get drunk/high and shitpost

I never left. I was older than 20 when I started posting here

We tried but it's impossible. I personally spent a solid few months reporting just about every tranny thread etc that I could but it did nothing and I gave up. I imagine that happened to most people too.
This board is now entirely made up of either normalfags or literal faggots and trannies from reddit and discord, and they're all very obviously teenagers.

I'm still here. Mostly lurking though because 99% of the threads are retarded.

>Why don't we fight back, like how /b/ spammed gore to keep the newfags at bay.
the /lgbt/ here are depraved and probably worse than us, also they enjoy it when you fight them.
>There's gotta be something that will drive the redditors and discord trannies out
yeah, limiting LGBT to /lgbt/

>they're all very obviously teenagers
Yeah, I never understood why Jow Forums hates young people until I hit 20. The teenagers here are so damn stupid and are brick walls when it comes to conversation.

This, I've been on this board since 2012 and out of habit I keep clicking it and scrolling the catalog but nearly every time I end up only going into threads to save the sexy OP image and don't even read the posts. And even the sexy OP images are dwindling because most threads open with pictures of e-whores or cocks.
I hate what this board has become, we have better feels threads on fucking /tv/ at this point.

>older than 20 go?
23 years here

I left the board for the most part
Got a stable job and my own apartment

Kinda lonely but at least I have my shit together
Basically, I got over whatever I was bitching about and grew up.

>Yeah, I never understood why Jow Forums hates young people until I hit 20. The teenagers here are so damn stupid and are brick walls when it comes to conversation.
Not only that but it's slowly become more allowed to just act like an underage fag. I know lurk moar is dead, I didn't even lurk for long before I posted, but I swear I never made it so obvious I was 14. You'll literally read a greentext that mentions
>be in my social studies class
or
>be in cafeteria with bros
with absolutely no repercussions.

The days of public multi-year bans are long gone.

The only way to salvage the board at this point is to ban all zoomers below the age of 25

It's ridiculous isn't it? To ruin things even more for you, realise that 10 years ago us underage posters were dumb nerds pretty much destined to come here anyway while the underage posters today are sadbois obsessed with discord drama and orbiting girls.

I'm 28 so I've seen this board "die" a couple of times but I think the trannies have really done us in for good. I don't even know what this board is about anymore.

fuck yeah, another 813er here. hope you have a cool week man, weather has been pretty great out so far

Wish it was just r9k but is clearly whole Jow Forums, not a single board worth visiting now

Reddit deservedly ate all the content

I've come here off and on since it was created.
Most people probably grow out of it. I almost have a couple times. But misogyny and whining will always have a place in my heart.

I'm still here and I still post but I'll be honest, I don't really understand what's going on anymore.

If Reddit is so cool and full of content, why couldn't they just stay there? I mean shit, the bigger interest boards basically all descended into reddithood a while ago and the handful that came out of that state are slowly becoming /b/ as has always happened with them, so why couldn't they have at least stuck to ruining those boards? Jow Forums was essentially an interest board with a narrow audience, and unlike movies or music or sports, there would be no reason to come here except to shit the place up. And for that there's always /b/.

Just check out that "virgin general" thread. A quick search reveals that out of some 55 replies that reveal a serious age, 30 of those people are under 21, as in children who can't even buy beer yet.

lol that thread is precisely why I made this one, it's horrific.

V& for domestic terrorism

Because they see the knowyourmeme entries about how a post made in 2010 on Jow Forums gained notoriety and now is a great meme.

And then nice guys, incels and even fucking Pepe became mainstream topics. That killed whatever what's left of r9k and now there are just traps, that britfeel thread, that r9gay thread and a lot of lame attempts to be funny.

Moved on to the outside world. I'm heading that route myself since the demographics and interactions are completely different from the way they once were. Most of the userbase that made this site appealing are long gone. In their place are vitriolic nigglers, phoneposters,and dunning kruger teenagers.

That thread gave me chills as well when it was first posted, I ended up looking for the 25+ thread which isn't up at the moment. I guarantee any attempt at a Misaki Friday tomorrow will garner about 40 replies before falling off the catalog without a remake.
Still, it's nice to know there's still at least 30 of us here.

The mods are complicit. We can never re-take the board while the mods are against us.

25 here, started coming on Jow Forums back when they revived it in the early 2010's. I was on every day, sleeping when the sun came up, pissing in jars, waiting til everyone left the house to make food. These days I get on a few times a year when I'm really bored, just to observe the state of this place and better understand it all.

I basically got a great job at a college, and somehow opened up. It was a combination of things; my mom pushing me to either work or go back to school, my boss being an absolute nightmare, my new coworkers banding together against our boss and accepting me and my weird quirks, the nature of the job which is to assist students.

It comes down to how much you enjoy your real life versus your existence online. It got to the point where people here would just talk down to me, and people in the physical world were more genuine and supportive. This place has its attraction, especially if you were raised in a stressful environment. It's comforting to reject those who rejected you, to not give into societal pressures, and to wallow in self-pity with people in the same boat. However, ultimately, this doesn't solve anything, and only hinders your personal growth. It teaches you to give up, strips you of your worth and your humanity, which makes everyone else in this hole feel better about having given up. Your presence here makes it all that much less lonely, and insecurity enjoys the comfort of the masses.

Now I actually have friends, a mentor, and a great relationship with my parents. I have a couple of friends from my past in Jow Forums who are also doing better for themselves, some with forms of autism and others with personality disorders.

If you're reading this and you really want to get out of this loop of hell, feel free to email my throwaway ([email protected]). Let me tell you though, it's going to be tough. You're really going to have to want change to do anything for it, but once you do you won't regret it.

I'm still here because where else would I even go?
this place hasnt been decent in years

It just sucks because as an aging Robot who knows he won't ever make it or even make a friend again there's not really anywhere else.
That's why we all loved these boards in the first place, they were the only socialization we'd get and we'd crawl back for more.

It's ironic because I can remember true oldfags telling me how bad Jow Forums was compared to the golden era of 2003-2006 in 2008, and they'd reckon eventually the real userbase of oldfags would get sick of the cancerous newfags and just leave, and I never believed them that it would happen. I guess I just never thought the entire demographic of Jow Forums could shift; sure back then the newfags probably were cancer, but they were still from the same core of losers, autists, nerds, weebs and outcasts. The users coming in today aren't from that background, and I think that makes people our age feel more like they're being pushed out than simply growing up.

A night of good threads and even better opinions. It's like I'm back on the r9k I used to know.

This

Its over user
Just live your life now

A round of a applause everyone

Theres only 2 kinds of people in this world people who like ed edd and eddy
And people who dont like ed edd and eddy

954 here as well. south broward

This.

It's the mods. Some of the mods are trannie faggots. They have always been. I mean what would you expect from a person who'll give up their legal ID to fucking Jow Forums and work for free to meet quotas? They have to be mentally ill in the first place.

For the record I'm 25 and I'm still here on my bad days. I hate it, it's like an awful habit, and my brain has been wasted away (literally) in the years I've wasted on this shithole. My conversational skills and critical thinking have been permanently fucked up by the daily repeating shitposts and the same arguments over and over. I wish I had used my time better. But I guess I'm here forever. It's sad really.

Coral Springs here my man

Ban all phone posters. Ban all gays and trannies. Ban all non virgins. Ban anyone below the age of 25. Ban all women.

r9k is now fixed.

>Ban all non virgins
>Ban all women.

You know what dude, there is a website that fully suits your retarded needs of pretending the real world doesn't exist. If you're an oldfag you already know it. Why don't you go there?

We're still here. We just never really announce it.

Fuck off back to re.ddit roastie cunt. You are not welcome here and you never will be.

>hanging out
Shouldve just stopped there

Jow Forums is beyond saving and we all know it. it was fun while it lasted

You are the unwelcome one, wherever you go. I'm a man, not a faggot, how the fuck can you even be triggered by the existence of non-virgins you fucking retard.

Onions guzzling faggots like yourself aren't men. Try again fuckface.

and here folks is exhibit A on why this board is a fucking doomed, normie infested shithole

25 but i only post when something is worth a reply and look which board we are on. It doesnt happen very often.

They all went to my server to get away from 12 year olds

Don't feel too bad guys. The shit state of this website is just a reflection of the rest of the internet which in itself is a reflection of the rest of society (or maybe it's the other way round i'm not even sure anymore). The best thing to do is get on with your own life in whatever way you can. This place was never a good substitute for real life even in it's best era, just a good distraction. Besides there are "other" places on the internet (which i shall not name in fear of attracting cancer to that haven) full of oldfags if you get tired of this place. The true redpill now is to connect with reality, with nature, now that everybody else is constantly connected to the matrix. That's the best way you have to finding freedom and happiness in this day and age

sometimes you can't honk hard enough to hide the pain

still here, just not posting in the r8 and b8 threads. also the older you get the harder it is to identify with the younger people swarming the boards... they seem to have a lot more bitterness than the older bunch. maybe it's the incel thing.

28 here. I mostly just lurk, and post in the fatty threads

>actual good advice

Thanks, user

"that" place has been ruined as well. so many children crying about 'muh uni exams' and other trivial bullshit last time I checked it. there's nowhere safe left.

Jannies are on the faggot side(no surprises there).

We are right here.

22 Here.
I just put stopped browsing 4chin for a good while. Not that I actually post anything much, but its just that the main boards i visited have gone to shit pretty much and I dont have any reason to stick around plus i got shit to do.

>There's gotta be something that will drive the redditors and discord trannies out
nah. nothing, and besides whats the point this whole board is falling apart what makes you think an uprising will ever occur?

>they were still from the same core of losers, autists, nerds, weebs and outcasts. The users coming in today aren't from that background, and I think that makes people our age feel more like they're being pushed out than simply growing up.

where do people like us, or younger but with a similar background gather nowadays? They must be somewhere.

26yo aussie here

I have to go driving school in a minute, I'm gonna be like SpongeBob

Yeah, there're a few places that come to mind, but like and said, most of em are either close to dead or infested.

bumping lkasjflwef

probably to work as a wageslave
t. soon to be wageslave

Most have either
>killed themselves
>given up posting because this board is utter shite now
or
>moved onto other boards/sites where the content is actually halfway decent
I'd say it's mostly the second one, certainly nobody from this board's peak ever "made it". Anyone who isn't a NEET just replaced their times in school with wagecuckoldry.

>where do people like us, or younger but with a similar background gather nowadays? They must be somewhere.

I think there's a generational change going on.

It's useful to keep in mind that Generation X users had a different life experience than millennial losers, who had a different life experience than zoomer losers.

Generation X users had an extended period of *true* isolation, prior to the mass adoption of the internet. So even once they were online and "conversing" in large groups, they still had the formative experience of isolation dominating their minds.

Millennials had a lot less of that, but still some of it. They were online from a very young age, but their early online experience wasn't as social-media oriented as the internet is today. So they still had formative experiences of being *somewhat* isolated dominating their minds.

Zoomers have none of that. Not really. Zoomers are the Borg. They've been connected to other people 24/7 their entire lives, even if they're hikkimori. They've been playing online games and posting in online forms and chatting and camming and everything else since they first could speak. Their experience of being losers isn't really one of isolation - it's one of being unattractive, and thus consigned to interacting with other losers. Zoomers are *all* socialized roughly to the level of the "King Nerd" from Generation X days. And the "King Nerd" was always secretly a cyborg, or one lucky weekend away from being a cyborg.

So I think that when a lot of you say "What are all these normies doing on the board?" what you're really seeing are the zoomers who think (and rightly so) that they are their generation's losers - but who are so much more connected to their peers than oldbots were that they don't look like or sound like losers TO US.

So zoomers are essentially the "nerd" characters from every teen movie who managed to make it at the end simply by being around enough people?

Anyway, good post user, I agree. I'm a millennial and while I certainly felt isolated as a teenager I had the internet to turn to. People I would interact with on messageboards like here or strangers in online games made it a bit more bearable when I started being unable to have friends during high school. At that time, we didn't really have friends but we managed to meet other losers through technology.

They made it. I never doubted them. We're all going to make it.

You forgot:

>moved on with their lives
>stopped posting here

I'm emotionally retarded and I'm way too fucking old to be here regardless.

>So zoomers are essentially the "nerd" characters from every teen movie who managed to make it at the end simply by being around enough people?

Right. All zoomers are played by Anthony Michael Hall.

>I'm a millennial and while I certainly felt isolated as a teenager I had the internet to turn to.

Right. And the zoomers didn't even "turn to" it - they were born in it, and have spent their entire lives in it, and it's invisible to them the way that water is invisible to fish.

That's why all of their problems never seem like "true" robot problems, but always just feel like *drama*.

>Oh no people left mean comments on my YouTube video!
>Oh no my oneitis blocked me!
>Oh no I was talking to this girl on Tinder and she ghosted me!

The "original" robot problems were things like:

>I'm legitimately afraid for my physical safety at school every day because the normies are allowed to gang up and abuse me for fun
>I don't talk to anyone at all
>I am the only person I know who likes the things I like

Etcetera. Those things are largely gone. Zoomer drama - the type of conflicts that arise in a context of permanent, incessant, 24/7 Borg-like hive mind communication - is what's left.

And don't get me wrong - there are zoomers who are losers. They're just a different kind of loser.

I didn't even mind the early iterations of >tfw no gf, it was much more honest to my own experience and it felt good to have those threads to commiserate in. When they took over the whole board it got shitty but that's why Robot9000 got nuked. On 9001 there was a decent balance for a while until at some point every thread in the catalog was >tfw no gf or a thread about sex in some form.

the user who makes stripper threads makes me happy :)
