>quoting is a feature literally built into this board software

>ever heard of email? quoting is a thing there, too

Considering I've probably been using them since before you were born, I am perfectly aware, thanks. Using it as "le may may arrows" to quote things that were never actually said is a recent "innovation" which is distasteful to everyone outside a select handful of low quality imageboards and using it as such is proof that you belong there and not here.

Eternal September isn't just some "epic injoke maymay" to look up on some shitty meme database and suddenly be "in on the joke", it's a solemn vigil for what once was and then was lost due to being shitposted to death by uncouth teenagers. Judging by the current state of DQN, we need such a reminder now more than ever.
