Attention oldfags who started using Jow Forums before 2009. Tell me how much of this applies to you:

I've been here since 2007, and almost none of those apply to me. I also didn't think it was a particularly interesting thread.

I used it by about 09 due to not having my own Internet access until in my twenties despite knowing about it before then. I only go on nostaliga trips and of course I hate the site. It's the only populated place where you can be both edgy and get attention though. I didn't use it enough to call myself a user until at 09 though. Fuck you if you don't like it. Not everyone is generation x nor grew up with a computer. Most here are now z, be glad I'm y.

>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal
sure.
>You went through a libertarian phase
nah. even when the girls I was hanging around in college went through this, I didn't fall for it. fucking druggies.
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
ehh, nah.
>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
sure, I'm tired of those conversations.
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
sure. I keep up running and my dressing to an extent.
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
I have 2 or three close friends including my girlfriend
>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk
about the same desu, lurk more than anything
>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
nah, I saw this trap, and got out of it. I program for my job, I love programming but my job turns it to work, such is life
>You have no solid plans or hope for the future.
nah, my gf makes more money than I do, but I have a promising career path, I will make as much money as I can and give it to her.
>You frequently go on nostalgia trips online (visiting old sites, archives, old videos) but it's bittersweet as it causes a great deal of melancholy
Yes, but I don't hunt it down, more nostalgia trips through music
>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
idk, I liked certain mangas, but fell out of love with all of it after awhile
>You've lost interest in all of your hobbies
don't think so, just think I drank too much
>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go
nah. fuck off. I don't come here to feel connection

Yes
>>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk

>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal
Yeah, kinda. More like clueless apolitical freshman.
>You went through a libertarian phase
Never. Capitalism has always been, and still is, THE enemy, the cause of all my problems and probably those of the 90% of the board as well, whether they realize this or not. And i say this as a relatively well put person, so it's not even poorfag cope. Capitalism may be economically functional, but it's culturally devastating.
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
Not quite.
>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
Depends on the quality and the tone of the discussion. Surely not here nor at Jow Forums
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
Yep, never stopped.
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
Only got one.
>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk
It goes in periods. Sometimes I forget this shithole even exists, sometimes I spend my whole days here.
>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
Nah, work's alright.
>You have no solid plans or hope for the future.
Yeah, and it's always been like that. But it's not on the hopeless side, rather it's about me being literally unable to project unto the future. Carpe diem and shit
>You frequently go on nostalgia trips online (visiting old sites, archives, old videos) but it's bittersweet as it causes a great deal of melancholy
Not actively.
>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
Kinda. Still read One Piece.
>You've lost interest in all of your hobbies
Nah, they just evolved.
>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go
Never really felt one. Just saw this as a place where my darker side could come out with little consequences.

*well off, sorry about the lapsus

I might be a disgusting fucking newfag but all of those apply to me.

Libertarian basically means anarchist fucking faggot. Gargle the government's dick ignorantly without realizing what words mean.

>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal
Nope
>You went through a libertarian phase
Absolutely not. Libtards are awful
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
Sure
>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
I actually looped through the black pill. Nihilism is babby's first epiphany.
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
I wish
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
The number of friends that I actively keep up with has dwindled significantly, but I do have a best friend still
>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk
True
>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
I work at Walmart
>You have no solid plans or hope for the future.
True
>You frequently go on nostalgia trips online (visiting old sites, archives, old videos) but it's bittersweet as it causes a great deal of melancholy
Also True
>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
Pretty much. I just can't be arsed to keep up with all the flavor-of-the-month anime, and the backlog just doesn't seem worth it, when Fairy Tail alone has like a thousand episodes
>You've lost interest in all of your hobbies
You assume I had hobbies to begin with
>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go
Pretty much. I literally just come here to scroll r9k and fap. Aside from porn threads I don't have too much use out of Jow Forums regularly.

Out of habit, sure. Used to be a /tf2g/ regular, but the game sank hard. Used to be a /gtag/ regular, but the threads died too much to bother with as much. I've always got Reddit when I'm not lurking Jow Forums either

What's that, like 3/13? Bad stuff, guy

No. I've lurked at the beginning, like everyone should.

You're mostly accurate.

Do I count if I started using Jow Forums in 2009 (but not regularly until late 2010-early 2011)?

>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal

>You went through a libertarian phase
That was my first phase
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
Sorta
>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
Yeah same with politics. And most things.
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
Lifting because I joined the army, not fashion or nofap though.
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
I did and now don't.
>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk
Yeah. More or less. Sometimes I get into autistic arguments though.
>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
I don't work but none of the above apply either.

pfft I took the black pill in elementary school, you merely adopted the blackpill after being convinced to be a retard by the stormcuck invasion

I was never a liberal, but the rest of it is fairly accurate. I've been on here for around or over a decade, I don't remember anymore. Of what import is this post/topic, though?

Been here since 2006 and most of what you said is just confirmation that you've always been a fucking normie. We stay quiet because nuweb anons don't understand or appreciate the pure chaos that was once possible. They'll support chaos but only when it furthers their agenda. The old ones want to see all sides burning, not just their least favored.

Never been a liberal and I think libertarians are total retards. I always had many friends, my friends are the reason I found Jow Forums in 2006. I had lots of sex and girlfriends in college. I got married at age 23 and now have a pretty stable family. My hobbies still include video games and I will rarely read some japshit but I enjoy bars and vacation and nature too. Hardly any nostalgia, life is better now than in 2006.

I do come here out of habit. Also for memes. I feel like the people you are talking about are the people we used to troll.

Literally none. That's a checklist being a total loser. And oldfags aren't teenager incels.

>You went through a libertarian phase
It's not a phase.
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
I have long term friends I enjoy doing things with, but we're not at all close emotionally.
>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
I wouldn't say I've lost all interest, but it has definitely dwindled as I try to reintegrate with society.
>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go

Less than half.

>oldfag
>proceeds to talk about redditpills
No. Red pill is not a thing you queer. In the early days, misogyny threads were at least funny half the time and most of it was based on regular teenage frustration with dating. Now you have a bunch of losers with no frame of reference who took the meme too seriously and swear by their hatred and negativity towards women or gays or whatever.

Let alone the fact that oldfags who did take themselves seriously were far more degenerate than you would even imagine, Jow Forums was a place to make jokes and have fun and especially the greentexts on this board were an escape from reality. People who use phrases from the matrix to represent what their actual reality is are cringe and bluepilled. I can make misogyny threads and I can make incel hate threads, but in the name of entertainment and not some self righteous crusade to educate

Nah man it's just that your post is more front loaded with shit than President Trump's adult diapers

Pretty much except been shitposting since age 11 on the internet. Currently living off financial aid loan for CC and going to continue to fund neet home online classes life for another year before transferring. im scared

I'm 32 and started browsing in 05 or 06, and the vast majority of this applies to me expect I never fell for the libertarian meme.
That being said, it looks like a few people ITT are romanticizing oldfags. I see this happen whenever oldfags are discussed. Oldfags commonly get portrayed as these admirable, witty, chaotic neutral, enlightened geniuses that lived normal lives. Anyone who implies such is either a larping newfag or an oldfag looking at the past with extremely thick nostalgia goggles. The truth is that most anons in the 2000s were some of the most cringy, socially awkward, degenerate, autists to ever walk the face of this earth. Back then unabashed pedophilia was rampant and if you said CP was wrong you'd be called a moralfag. Nobody remembers all the pedobear memes?
I knew a lot of anons back then, in real life and on AIM/Yahoo messenger. Each and every one of them was screwed up beyond words.

Started late '06 here.
>>You work a low wage job,
>>You have no solid plans or hope for the future.
These are the only ones that apply. But I was already an adult when I started coming here, after two years of uni, so that might be part of it.

>>libtards
Liberal and libertarian are not the same thing user. LIbertard was bashing modern day liberals. Libertarians don't exist due to them being terrorists/patriots and that's illegal.

I have been here since 2004 and very few of this applies to me.

>You went through a libertarian phase
Not really. I think you are just projecting.
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
Nope. I am not even sure what you are trying to say here. I became sexist and then a doomer? I actually just became more aware of society being like sheep but I also accepted it.
>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
Sure. Jow Forums is a bunch of tired circle-jerking these days.
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
Yeah sure. That is just part of growing up.
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
Yeah but that is also part of our modern world. Once you leave school, it becomes hard to make friends.
>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk

>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work

I improvise but I have hope.
>You frequently go on nostalgia trips online (visiting old sites, archives, old videos) but it's bittersweet as it causes a great deal of melancholy
Definitely. The internet as I knew and loved it is dead. The Jow Forums I knew and loved is dead. Facebook, Reddit, and Google/YouTube have killed it.
>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
I used to hate weebs, now I find them annoying. Anime is fine but modern anime is pathetic.
>You've lost interest in all of your hobbies
I think you are just depressed, user.
>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go
This is true. /vg/ feels oldfag enough for me but there is only so much you can say about the top 20 SNES games. I started some good discussions on pinball and retro gaming mags there before but those died after a bit.
I am 29 now. I started coming here when I was 14. Jow Forums definitely shaped me but what made it special largely died after 2009/2010.

this but I also swallowed the clownpill and everything is more fun now, yeah i could be the sad sack of shit but I can as well enjoy the small things and have a laugh about misfortunes

Been posting here since 2006
>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal
eh, Liberal to other people and laws, conservative to my own life and interests
>You went through a libertarian phase
Not sure it's a phase if I've been like this for the last 15+ years and still going
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
I avoided those pill memes, nothing good to come out of them
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement
that's life mate, everyday you should try and be better than before
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
couldn't live that way and Ive tried. I mean that as no one leaves me alone, I have irl friends that get moody if I haven't reach out to them for a week.
>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk
Flip. Lurk the fuck all till about 2010 when I started visiting here, was really engaging and still can be from time to time
>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
Married 12 years to workaholic wife that doesn't care I'm a NEET so long as I clean up after her and take care of her emotionally.
>You have no solid plans or hope for the future.
My childhood goal was to get a attractive girl to be my wife so yeah, prospects where never there
>go on nostalgia trips online
This post reminded me that I haven't done this in so long I can't even recall the last time I was ever on Newgrounds
>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
not going to happen. Wife is a weeb and watches anime all the time so I'm getting exposed to new stuff often
>You've lost interest in all of your hobbies
have stayed about the same.
>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go
I come here because it's one of the last bastions of ideas get debated without context or narratives

I started posting on Jow Forums in 08.
>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal
nope conservative by most folks
>You went through a libertarian phase
yes
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
red maybe but black no.
>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
I grew tired of most of that sort of talk around when I was 18
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
I still do them
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
I do.
>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk
True there friend.
>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
Nope, have a solid career that I can't lose my job.
>You have no solid plans or hope for the future.
Other than buy a house not really
>You frequently go on nostalgia trips online (visiting old sites, archives, old videos) but it's bittersweet as it causes a great deal of melancholy
I do this both irl and online but hey
>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
Nah I became a true weeb instead. I literally watch everything and enjoy whatever I enjoy. I don't even drop anime.
>You've lost interest in all of your hobbies
Other than Vidya nah.
>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go
I feel a connection to /n/,/o/, Jow Forums and /jp/.

Started using Jow Forums basically the week it opened in 2003 bouncing here from Gaia, pic related

>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal
No Tankie
>You went through a libertarian phase
Libertarian Socialist phase.
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
No, I think Red pill shit is delusional nonsense though men do suffer from issues that are not talked about and unfairly mocked by society, Contrapoints recent video talks about this in an actual decent way.
>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
Not black pilled.
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
Yes, my issue is that I have massive anxiety issues that are untreated and depression sets in after a string of failures (which usually all happen at once) and massively reverse my progress
>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
Wrong, though I not really spoken to anyone for months, this is because I moved overseas with my girlfriend to promptly have her instability destroy our relationship before I got to know people through her and noone at meetups and shit wants to know you outside the meetup (only autists and shit go to meetups anyway)
>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk
Nope
>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
Yeah, Social worker, pays like shit but it shouldn't I literally stop people killing themselves every fucking week.
>You have no solid plans or hope for the future.
Pretty much, had a lot of plans with my Ex but they kind of required her since they relied a lot on her connections and networking and my skills and experience.

>You frequently go on nostalgia trips online (visiting old sites, archives, old videos) but it's bittersweet as it causes a great deal of melancholy
Yep, this is largely because being in your 30s fucking SUCKS for making friends and connections, you make your best connections in your teens and 20s. Moving for my girlfriend at the time has basically destroyed my fucking life.
>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
Modern anime is mostly garbage beyond shit like Mob Psycho, still watch the classics regularly.
>You've lost interest in all of your hobbies
Pretty much, these were so much better with friends and my ex, doing it by myself just makes me realise how much I miss them all.
>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go
I've been on Jow Forums since it's birth, in a fucked up way this shithole of my site is basically family.

I started browsing in 2004, currently 27 years old

Yes
No
Skipped the red pill
Sure, I guess
No
True
I lurked for like a year before posting and I post pretty often these days
Live off parents
True
Not really unless you count playing osrs
I still love anime
I still play video games everyday and I still keep up with recent anime and manga
Kinda true but I still like posting on Jow Forums and I post in multiple /vg/ generals

A little bit of hope regarding my plans but think it's unlikely I'll manage to do it
>>You frequently go on nostalgia trips online (visiting old sites, archives, old videos) but it's bittersweet as it causes a great deal of melancholy
Not often but I watch a few old things
>>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
No. I only started with anime as an adult and still watch it.

Wow actually fuck off with ho accurate some of this is. I went the opposite way, took the black pill and became a family man.

User since late 06
>was libertarian
>am now ancap
>don't really apply to anything else
Seems like you just posted your life story and hoped people could relate user

I've been here since 2010 and most of this still applies to me.

Jow Forums on and off and always here
sometimes v, vg and x
Rest is kinda correct though OP, been here since 2006

I've been here since 2009ish and I relate to maybe 30% of what you posted. But I know you're invoking the Barnum effect here, so most people will agree with you ITT as intended.

My theory is that most of us have gone down the same path.
not possible or we look more like 8 chan

I was liberal and I am now.
Never went through a cringe libertarian phase
Red/black pill has always been bullshit, edgy faggots trying to cope with being socially inept
Tried self-improvement, it's an on/off relationship
Don't have any close friends besides my gf
I post regularly
I work a pretty average job with average pay
I have vague life plans.
Nostalgia is good in small doses.
Never was a weeb, just started watching anime a few years ago.
Never had any real hobbies to begin with.
I mostly post on Jow Forums nowadays.

>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal
eh
>You went through a libertarian phase
ehh
>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
i never took the red pill but i did call people jews because there's no other insult for "successful but that's bad"
>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
what? no, "i'm sick of talking about thing therefore shut up" is shit
>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)

Late 2007 here (sort of).

>>When you started using Jow Forums you were a liberal
I was liberal-leaning and still am.
>>You went through a libertarian phase
I'm not sure, but I think I didn't.
>>You took the red pill, followed by the black pill years later
Redpilled in 2011, blackpilled in 2015, colorlesspilled in 2017.
>>Even though you are black pilled, you have long since gotten tired of discussing any topics related to it
Yes.
>>You've tried many forms of self-improvement (lifting, nofap, fashion, etc.)
Yes.
>>You have not had any close friends, or even close online friends in many years
Last close friendship ended in 2007 or 2008 (but we stopped being close around 2005). Never had a close online friend.
>>You post very little compared to when you started using Jow Forums, and mostly lurk
I only lurked when I started using Jow Forums, but when I finally started posting, I was very active. Now I guess I mostly lurk.
>>You work a low wage job, OR life off neetbux, OR simply live with parents and dont work
I have a dead-end job with a pretty low wage.
>>You have no solid plans or hope for the future.
Yeah. I'm going to be like the post-doomer meme.
>>You frequently go on nostalgia trips online (visiting old sites, archives, old videos) but it's bittersweet as it causes a great deal of melancholy
I do this but not very often. I would nostalgiatrip more if I had time.
>>You were once a weeb but have lost all interest in anime
I may have been a weeb once, but I'm okay with anime. I don't watch it, though.
>>You've lost interest in all of your hobbies
Pretty much.
>>You no longer feel a connection to any board of this site, but come here out of habit and because you have nowhere else to go
Also this with the exception of a couple of generals.

2010 but yes that's pretty much me.
I can't believe next year will be a decade I've been in this trash site.
