How did you find this place?

I only came here after the cambridge analytica incident. I was already skeptical of big tech and a huge linux freetard for years prior so i blended in pretty easily despite being a newfag
Having been on Jow Forums for the better half of this decade, I am suprised how long it took for me to find this board

years ago my country had only one anime website. Someone mentioned there Jow Forums. Me as non native english speaker was forced to use translator and translate every single word because my school did not taught english. It was struggle.

Found this place because someone in a CS:Source server posted a link. Been here ever since 2007. Back in the day there was no captcha and no cloudflare so the site went down more often or there were days where someone flood an entire front page with AI spam.

The gaia online spam used to be bretty bad.

High school friend who was an epic /b/ memer told me about it in 2012. Lurked for three years, eventually started posting on Jow Forums, and later /a/ as my interest in technology and anime increased.

Someone once called me a racist and asked me to visit and start using Jow Forums.
He said "think about the Windows and Mac users as minorities and see how they treat them, would you like to be treated like that?"

Go back

Did you learn user? Also what country are you from?

please. Temple OS is the thinking man's OS.

I got into Linux because of ricing. I spent a lot of time in r/unixporn. Someone told me to post my rice to Jow Forums and that's how I got here.

I've heard of this place since 2012 from Encyclopedia Dramatica which in turn was introduced to me by a guy I played some MMO from. I thought the entire site was like old /b/ (I went there some months ago, and it was mostly porn), so I stayed away.

Looking up some specific hentai fetishes lead me to a /d/ archive. I started visiting /d/ and other porn boards. And because I have some interest in smartphones I started visiting Jow Forums.

/a/ is actually alright.

Being a medfag, I wanted to give /sci/ a try. It's shit. What isn't maths or physics is race-baiting or IQ threads.
Jow Forums is shitposting with flags. Jow Forums and /v/ are one big autistic screeching contest where one thread has at least 6 different arguments half of which are off-topic.

Now I mostly visit Jow Forums and porn boards. I have learned many useful things considering that I'm tech illiterate. I didn't even know that blocking ads with add-ons was not only so easy and effective, but also free. Some freetard apps are vastly superior to their non-freetard counterparts. I also get tech news from here.

>wahhhh race ain't real and shit IQ hurts my feelings

Do us a favor and go back.

I'm just citing on local boards. So i knew about Jow Forums and moved here, when local chans start dying.
Jow Forums is shit btw, the only good side is speed and cybsec general.

I was an aspiring /b/ skiddie and I had a question about something stupid like SQL injection, and somebody told me to come here and ask.This was back when Jow Forums actually had some knowledgeable people. 2008 maybe?

When I was first getting into computer stuff beyond "this laptop plays terraria" I bought an IBM Thinkcenter running Ubuntu 12.04 and asked a Reddit what I could do for upgrades and how to do them
They sent me here

Ironic isn't it?

Been here since burichan was still a thing, only pop into Jow Forums occasionally when I’m feeling paranoid or need to build a new pc/buy a newer laptop. Occasionally I come to ask hobby specific tech questions just to remind myself how retarded anons are and that others boards aren’t entirely clueless when it comes to autismal specifics in their respective realms of expertise.

fbi thread

Was thinking of WWIII and Hitler. Watched some documentaries on bitchute. Ended up in Jow Forums. Lurked some moar. A lot moar. Went through all the boards. Now at /diy/, Jow Forums, and occasionally Jow Forums.

Hello, Schizo. These threads don't go anywhere. They're shit, and so are you.

CIA post.

>evolution stopped at the neck

Okay creationist baby. Funny thing is people like (((Gould))) are the ones with a propensity toward schizophrenia.

looked up anonymous group on wikipedia back in 200X

Idk, I just read about it on the 18-25 forum on jeuxvideo.com. I started by lurking Jow Forums around 2015, and created my first thread in 2017, it was about the referendum for abortion in ireland. I didn't know how to reply to posts and some kind brazilian user taught me the ropes. I then stopped browsing Jow Forums because it led me to alienate a lot of my friends and family and began using Jow Forums because of my interest in GNU/Linux, my EE cursus and thinkpads, of which I got my first at the time, my dad's t60, which I upgraded to a c2d t7400 and 3gb ram, and ran mint before switching to debian with xfce. These days, I mostly browse /d/, Jow Forums, /gif/, /vr/ and /v/ for the occasional shitposting.

I googled nigger jew tranny coc. Kind of a fetish of mine.

>2008: discover YouTube Poop and find it hilarious
>2009: after a continuing obsession with YTP I started searching some of the memes and jokes and eventually came across Encyclopedia Dramatica
>soon afterwards I found myself on /b/, then /v/, then /mu/ and here
>been here ever since

Every personal interest of mine has been directed and/or fed by this place. In 10 years, Jow Forums has been the single constant thing in my life. Now it's the only site I spend any time on. At this point I'm unironically considering a tattoo of the clover logo.

I bet you love /gif/.

Nice bait.

I don't remember how I got here but it was in 2011 when the Ron Paul memes were in full swing.

That is in no way bait

This post is not good bait, however.

who's the picture at the right side?

a friend told me to go to /b/ and pres f5 repeatedly. that's how i discovered furry porn and holocaust denial. now i watch jordan peterson trying to rectify

Zucc's grandfather obviously.

Ι unironically posted on 2ch because I was a major weeb in high school so it was a rather welcome transition

This entire thread is filled with newfags. I've been here since 2003 when this place got popular amongst people who wanted to talk about waifus and didn't want to deal with Lowtax's shitty moderation and greed

not4chan

i removed the not and voila
