'2006, learned about it from the newgrounds forums, came here and never went back.';

'2013. Was teenager very lonely fat fembot. I remember when /r9k/ had those selfie threads and guys told me to lose weight and that my body looked like a dudes.

This site is good for helping people self esteem.';

'2005 or 6 since I was 5 or 6 years old
Going to /b/ used to be all I would do after school and before school and I've been here ever since';

'>>77247890
Fellow oldfag here. Absolutely agreed. It's so helpful to be able to go through one's posting history. That way we'll never have newfags.';

'>>77247919
>since I was 5 or 6 years old

You've been using this website since you were 5 years old? I do not believe this';

'>>77247647
2008, /b/ was getting popular in high school with the WoW players. as of last year i have spent most my life here.';

'>>77247647
About 2012/2013. First heard about it through horse show fandom and that the fandom basically originated from here. It got me curious so I started browsing /mlh/ and /co/. Eventually, I made my way to /r9k/. My life has gone downhill since. One of the many reasons why I hate that fandom now.';

'2004, I was 15. I was there for Habbo Hotel, Battletoads and Hal Turner. I was splitting my time between Something Awful, YTMND and here before I realized pretty much all the best stuff was just being reposted elsewhere from 4chan.';

'>>77247919
Are you just completely deranged by now? Holy fuck /b/ at 6 years old.

I knew about 4chan after Lowtax banned anime from the SA forums but I wasn't thrilled by it initially. Ignored it while I played WoW.
Then in 2005 or 2006 /f/ got really good. People would upload HentaiKey animations for free. Lots of memes.
I started browsing other boards like /v/ and been around ever since.';

'>>77247647
poked around from 2018. started spending a lot of time here and on altchans in 2023. but i lurked tranny communities that seemed to have a lot of 4chan oldfags in them as a confused kid, so i came in with much of the culture already absorbed.';

canv.as fizzled out, worked at google, worked on google maps (google+ ?) in Japan for a while until he was divested then disappeared. He obviously wants to be far away from here. I mean be didn't have much of a personal life here, they were even doxxing his mom.
Apparently he ran an internal imageboard at google for shitposting.';

>Don't believe it
My kindergarten assigned us "buddys" from 8th grade or something to socialize us I guess
From what I remember either my buddy or his best friend gave me a paper with 4chan.org/b written on it and told me to come here
I still wonder sometimes if he still browses 4chan or not

>>77250660
>Are you just completely deranged by now?
Yeah I guess so
I am a hikkineet and my life is basically ruined I wouldn't say it's ruined because of 4chan though if anything 4chan is why I haven't roped

I'll never forget one of the first threads I ever saw maybe the top thread when I first looked was gore and I panicked and left for months before coming back permanently

It's neat to see another /f/ browser
I still use /f/ to this day not only do you still see recently made or atleast recently updated things once in a while but the reposts are fairly high quality still';

'I am genuinely concerned about this site dying. They removed the IP counter and now /b/ is slow as fuck. It used to be so much faster in 2015 if this place dies I dunno what I'm gonna do.';

'My first girlfriend showed me this place in 2005.
I didnt really like anime at the time so I didnt get fully /b/tarded right away, but pretty quickly I found myself coming here instead of myspace to hang out and the rest is history.';

'>>77247647
2011, I was a freshman in high school. Turns out the only reddit posts I liked turned out to be 4chan reposts. I was an autistic loser without any prospects for friends, I 100% thank 4chan for helping me get friends by retelling jokes I found on here to make people laugh.';

'>>77257748
2016 eternal newfag here too. Friend showed me the site one day and /r9k/ caught my attention. Went home and looked it up myself and found a lot of posts that resonated with me at the time. My fate was sealed';
